Meh. Agree with Pape Neuf comment - tastes like an old-time Italian wine. But hard to pry the Cab character out of this one. More like a not so super Tuscan. Redeeming features are character and intensity. Perhaps more time…..

Enjoyed with steak. Total time open was 2 hours, nice balance of fruit, acid, secondary notes of leather/mushroom. Can't speak to qpr, but drinking nicely.

Comes across as old style Italian, i.e. some VA, leathery (low level brett), and some coarse tannins, even after 12 years. Good fruit underneath redeems the wine. It shows the Cabernet character. Some might really like this, but there are many similar wines that are better in the same price range.

Italy vacation Part 1; 10/22/2017-11/5/2017 (Florence and the Tuscan countryside): Dark ruby; aromatic, dense black fruit with good minerality; palate is full bodied, black fruits, excellent minerality and freshness; finish is medium length. Young but good, reminds me of a St. Julien. 88-89
