You know that feeling you get when you forgot about a wine in the cellar for few years and then you open one up and found special magic? Now remember that it was ~30 dolllars?
So I opened it again- ink/purple/dark purple color, very nice jam and balance of fruits on the nose and palate. The finish got longer than I recalled three years ago. I tasted it, went to the fridge. Brought little pickles, small cheese. Tasted again. Even better. Super good QPR. Very enjoyable. Can smell the secondary tastes after about 10 minutes in the glass. Got even better. I will start drinking the ones we still have. Excellent aging so far. 91+ but on the nose and color I would have given even more

Tasted again @ RS and it drinks above its price range. Super good QPR. Very enjoyable though against the 'top line' RS it is still one that is close, but not as close. I think it will become an unofficial 'mid+' level on the RS cab lines. Consistent with previous notes (and I noticed many people were picking it up upon tasting) 90+

Drinks well above items price range. Second time we tasted it. Excellent qpr, nice feature night, great on the nose. Vote of the bottle-done in the first hour 90-91 (probably would have been 91 if not for the 'contest' it had with the wines we opened the night before)

Very good fruit, not complex but enjoyable with integrated sweet oak.
