Här har vi en vaniljbomb som andas ek, ek, ek. Nu till en finburgare av älg. Riktigt fin nu och behöver mycket mat för att balanseras. Dricks bra nu men kommer hålla flera år men tror inte på mer utveckling.

Really nice- maybe I'm overrating this, but it was delicious and expressive for the price, and did an excellent job of balancing high alcohol and big fruit. Lots of raspberry preserves, blueberry crumble, etc like a "typical" zin, yet given complexity with a deep vanilla oak note, almost toasty, not at all overwhelming, just a big dollop of seasoning. The high ABV is pretty well-hidden here, mostly feeling like a burst of fruity richness than a spiky, hot mess. Neither overly tannic or flabby. I'm not much of a zin lover, but this was solid QPR for sure. Makes me wonder if I should try more Napa zin rather than Paso or Lodi stuff.

Pleasant. Unmemorable.
