Aroma of cinnamon and clove, blueberry jam, ripe black cherries, some oak, some floral/potpourri. Palate with mild acidity, medium tannin, warm alcohol. Ripe cherry, blueberry reduction, stewed plums, cinnamon , clove, vanilla, bay leaf , sweet tobacco. Good complexity and drinking well right now. Would drink now, but still has some life in it. Could potentially develop more in bottle, but didn’t really change much over 2 hours in decanter , so I have some doubts as to whether this will still improve with time. Overall an excellent wine and I think good QPR. My local wine shop only had one bottle, but after trying if I saw more I would pick it up.
