  Very much like the last bottle last year. And though this is my last bottle, it clearly can go on for some years since it is still bright and peppy.

  Needed time (a couple hours) to open. Nose is leathery, earthy, rosy -- big. Palate is chewy, acidic, big fruit, earthy, with a good hit of tannins. Very good QPR.

  Delicious, well-balanced, soft tannins. Worked with pesto, also sausage & peppers

  TCA, too much of it as well, but no doubt this would have been very enjoyable wine otherwise (rest was there).

  This continues to be a delicious bottle of wine. Lots of dark cherry fruit, forest floor, good minerality and a medium finish. Very enjoyable!
