Deep, dark garnet in color, slightly opaque in color. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruits aromas of cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & herbal notes, spices, minerals & a slight hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, lush, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blueberries & plums with spices, herbs, minerals & a touch of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Readily accessible at present with decanting & extended airing but it has the fruit & structure to develop further with additional aging. Excellent QPR when found at discount.

Long finish but dry. Prefer the Private Reserve Red Blend hands down to this. Same vintage year.
