  Decanted portion with stir and it opened within an hour. Vacuvin’d the rest, and similar results on day 2. Very deep ruby and garnet color.
  👃🏻 black cherry, blackberry, raisin
  👅 black cherry, plum, licorice, vanilla, black pepper with 30-35 sec finish
  Hard to rate this one, as it identifies much more as an extracted cabernet sauvignon than primitivo. 16.5% ABV! Pairs like a cabernet as well. On one hand, I feel like it loses its identity as a primitivo. On the other, I can see how any oaky cabernet lover would enjoy this wine. QPR is mediocre, and equivalent or worse than the inflated Napa prices at this time.
