Far better then the last bootle that was over the top. The pepper tones were almost gone and secondary Tones appears. Still with medium tannines. Suddenly the QPR seems good. I stoppad bytingar this wine some years Ago but maybe I Should start again.

A tie for best bottle of the evening. Lot's of pepper and spice. This was a great bottle and a great find on our trip to S. Africa. Fantastic QPR, except for the travel expense to S. Africa :-)

Good rhone-style red that was a nice break from the over-the-top fruit bombs of CA and Australia. Had a clean, balanced feel with fruit, tannin and some faint barnyard notes. Did not find the pepper oppressive as others have noted.

Paired with Masala Chai dark chocolate. Rounded nose of raspberry, cherry and eucalyptus. Very spicy, with the eucalyptus and a bit of leather and smoke. After tasting the chocolate, the spice shifts to gingerbread that Faith said tasted like Christmas. There’s noticeable nutmeg after the chocolate as well. Kevin Arnold, definitely the winemaker and not the Wonder Years.

Honeymoon in South Africa; 12/16/2008-12/23/2008 (Londolozi, Cape Town, Constantia, Somerset West, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Franschoek - South Africa): There was 5% Mourvedre in this. Very nice. Clean, understated nose, with savoury meat alongside perfumed blueberries. Palate was similarly clean and restrained. with more subtle fruit riding on fine grained but firm tannins and a touch of pepper. Some cocoa and bittersweet chocolate emerged at the medium-lengthed finish. A serious, Rhone-styled wine.
