This was very tight on opening, and was just hitting its’ stride after two hours in the decanter. You can drink this now (with 2-3 hours air time) for the primary fruit and enjoyably feral aspects, or wait at least 2-3 more years for this to integrate more. Right now it’s all big blackberry fruit, iron and some meaty notes. I suspect this will become much more interesting down the road. Wish I had more than one! Great QPR at $15.

PnP on a sunny afternoon, just to share a glass with a friend in the backyard. Wow. Juicy as can be. Cherry, plums and pepper. Needless to say, the bottle was gone in no time. My in-laws will need to bring me a few more of these when they come for a visit next month (from Seattle).

Great initial fruit, strawberry, bold tannin, medium finish. Not too tart

Fairly ripe fruit, a hint of licorice/olive/herbs, hint of mineralogy, mild tannins.
