For some reason, I have never liked this wine, and each year I open another bottle hoping with age that this will change. The bottle isn't corked, and the wine simply has a flavor I find off putting. It has mellowed more with time, color aged to brown-red in the cellar and smooth on the palate, but there are sour notes in this wine that I dislike. 85 pts

This has matured nicely and is drinking very well now. Tannins have mostly dissapeared leaving a pleasant, medium-bodied wine with cherry and spice (cinammon?, licorice?) notes. Very good QPR.

Nearing the end of its run, but in very nice shape now. Tannins are gone and what remains are balanced flavors of earth and muted red fruit. Still very aromatic and pleasing on the nose. Was great last night with a spicy meatball sandwich.
