Decanted a few hours. Lovely bouquet with plums, oak, river rock, spices, cassis and smoke. Decadent with a smooth texture. Great finish that's balanced and fresh. Nice balance between density and freshness. A real crowd pleaser here. Well done. Drink now - 2022.

Tasted at The Three Borders Wine Group, Hampshire, UK. This is 78% cabernet, plus merlot, petit verdot and petit syrah. Stainless steel fermentation, 20 months in French oak. Dark maroon colour. Loads of blackcurrants, spice, plums and herbs. Rich, long and warming. An excellent wine, thoroughly enjoyed by the group.

Excellent QPR at $15. Black cooked fruit and dark chocolate, slight burn on the back of the tongue. At its peak, dream up.

Yummy. I'm new to this. Minimal tannins.
