  PnP. Garnet w/ dark pink edge in color. Nose of morello cherries, blackberries, sweet tobacco, licorice & basil. On the palate: cherries, sweet tobacco, red delicious apple, mandarin orange and subtle wood spice. Some alcoholic heat is perceptible. Sandy tannins are perceived on gums, cheeks & tongue. Long finish of red delicious apple, tobacco, wood spice and citrus. Overall, great QPR...lost a point for the alcoholic heat (which seems unlikely to resolve even with more time in the cellar).

  Tinta de Toro 100% con una crianza de 14 meses en barricas de roble francés de 225 y 400 litros, el 20% nuevas. En copa presenta un color rubí limpio y brillante de capa media-alta. Nariz de muchas especias como clavo, pimienta, vainilla y canela, mezcladas con frutas rojas y negras maduras. En boca un caldo con cierto cuerpo y volumen, tanino pulido, acidez no demasiado marcada pero sí suficiente para amansar el alcohol de 15,5 grados. Se está bebiendo muy bien ahora, aunque tiene estructura para recorrido.

  Somewhat disappointing compared to bottles I've had from earlier vintages. Fairly shy nose - mostly plums. Plums dominate on the palate, with notes of assorted berries and a hint of vanilla. Medium body, with decent acidity. Less tannic that previous vintages. Very long, seamless, delicious finish. If this was a $10 to $15 grocery store wine, I'd be buying cases of it. Unfortunately, it set me back $26 (partly because I live in Ohio), and the borderline exceptional finish is the only thing that separates it from everyday grocery store wines. Day two: Nondescript fruit on the palate has morphed into bodacious, mouthfilling fruit, seamlessly leading to a terrific finish that seems to have improved somewhat. Originally scored at 85.
