Beautiful fruit on the nose, dense red and black fruit on the palate. Some graphite and leather, but fruit predominates yet in a good way. Soft well integrated tannins. Dense, balanced and harmonious. Very, very enjoyable.

57% Merlot, 33% Cab Sauv, 8% Cab Franc & 2% P. V. Med+ ruby. Med+ black cherry, red cherry, ripe black plum, red flowers, pencil shavings, tobacco, mocha w/ an elegant oak overlay. Dry, but w/ generous fruit. Med acidity, med. resolved tannins and high (14.3%) but well integrated alcohol. Full-bodied, but very well balanced, w/ med+ to pronounced flavor intensity and length. Currently in a great place, it has potential to show well for several more years. Great QPR Bordeaux Blend.

A very harmonious Bordeaux style red. Soft, supple fruit flavor accompanies spices and herbal nuances on the palate. Medium body and length, deliciously fresh at 9 years old and definitely mature.
