Big herbal notes on the nose, but not sharp, like a fresh inviting garden, very inviting, on the palette its softer and more fruit forward with that herbal character carrying through to balance, enough weight and tannin to bring it all together and not feel heavy on the palette, very good

Two hour decant. Very very deep lavender magenta color. Chocolate mousse, basil, plum, angel food cake, and blueberry sauce on the nose. Smooth, slightly tongue drying palate. Firm tannins on the medium long+ finish.
I was surprised how good this was (for an entry-level bottle from a big estate). It definitely benefited from the decant. The nose opened up very nicely. Very solid QPR here for less than $60.
