The wine looks Crimson colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Blackberry, Red Currant, Meaty. It tastes like Blackberry,and Plum. The body is Medium/Full. The wine has Leathery texture. The wine finishes Medium. Thank you, tasting note assistant, for making me look lazy to my fellow wine enthusiasts!
My last bottle of 04 looking forward to 08's

I found this in the cellar and opened it 30 mins before I was expecting to drink it, but was prepared that it would be old and would need discarding. To my delight this was delicious, with dense colour and strong dark fruit flavors. Smooth, light tanins and a good finish. Better than it was a couple of years ago.

Opened about an hour before drinking. Still fairly tannic, but reasonably well balanced. Muted nose. Lots of blueberries on the palate. Medium body and a very good finish. Incredible value.

This has matured very well over the years. Still lots of blackberry and cherry. Tannins almost gone now. Great QPR. I'm not sorry to have 3 left of this one.

Very nice full bodied wine. It is aging well and the tannins are still hanging in there!
