Blueberry, menthol, ash, a slight alcohol burn, but fairly well integrated overall. This is drinking nicely now, but probably better in 2-3 years, will try to hold remaining bottles until then. Good QPR from WTSO a few years back.

Brought to Steve and Patty’s for a rosemary chicken dinner. Not much change from the TN almost 2 years ago. Writing mostly to say that we gave this about 90 minutes of air, and at this point, I’m not sure this needs it. Mature, well-balanced, solid if not exceptional with food and without. I’d put this mid to late drinking window, and would say to drink now to the next couple of years. 91 if scoring.

This was a very pleasant wine to sip on the patio during an unusually mild summer afternoon. The primary flavors were of black cherry, chocolate, and (unusually, for a RdD) banana (!), but there were hints of orange peel and leather. The tannins and acidity were perfectly balanced. Sadly, this was our last bottle. QPR was excellent @ $22 from WTSO.

MR. SLATE's tasting note is apt.

We drank this without a decant, which was a mistake, as it took a while to open. Otherwise it was fine.
