  I think this one is fading. The oakiness showed through the fruit and I thought it might be a little oxidized (the color was deeper and it had a bit of that quality, but the others drinking it with me said no.
  Think it's time to finish these off before they get worse.

  팝콘향 가득, 산도가 부족한 게 좀 아쉽다

  Almost creamy - perhaps the most overtly oaky of the hansel’s I’ve had, but not out of balance. Still a fantastic QPR.

  Heavy oak char, rich lemon, some heat on the finish. Day 2, after spending the night in the fridge, nose of urine... rich fruit but totally masked by the oak...I usually like the reductive character of these wines but prefer the meadows vineyard bottling as this was way too in your face for my liking.
