  File under: My coworker's son manages a Total Wine and she gave me a box of wine because he has too much.
  I mostly agree with the two most recent tasters except the part where if it's not suitable for further aging how exactly will it be drinking well for another five years?
  But I digress.
  There is a certain Bordeaux savoir-faire on display here which is nice. Good wine and if I had this in a couple - few years it'd probably still be good, all things considered.The overall project has always interested me, especially the wines from the Cuveliers.

  Found this guy at the local shop that has some overlooked gems collecting dust on the bottom racks. I felt like this is still drinking great, shows some aged via more stewed fruits that were less in the forefront, and earthy, leathery notes, but I liked the 2017 more. Overall, these $20 bottles age nicely and punch above their weight. Impress your snobby friends!
  
  The shop also has the newer vintage which I’ll pick up a few, one to drink ASAP and one to sit on and see how it develops at better conditions than a hole in the wall bottle shop..

  Nose: barely ripe cassis and leather, reminiscent of a simple table Bordeaux; hint of greenness. Palate: cherries that somehow seem to be both tart and oxidative in nature, oak, quite bold (drinks hotter than it 14.5% suggests); as it finishes it reminds me of an aged Zinfandel.

  Another great bottle, see previous notes for details. Very good QPR, but despite the price I strongly recommend giving this and all Siete vintages cellar time and lots of air. Drink to 2027+.
