  For $16.99 I had to try one. Now I need to go back to Costco and grab a dozen more. Unsurprisingly, it's not quite there for my palate in this moment, but it's not far away, either. A great cellar defender that I'll drink from 2025-2035 with pleasure. Easily recommended+

  Black licorice and cedar wood on the nose. Showing some ripe black fruit after opening up too. The palate is a little tight even after a several hour decant. Dominated with tobacco but gives way to a blueberry compote. Lighter than expected and very enjoyable.

  Was hoping to like this more than I did, quite austere in nature, with notes of cherries, dark chocolate, animal fat? , bark, black pepper and green pepper. The palate was rustic with red fruit, spice and sandalwood, a touch of dark chocolate, fine grainy tannins, yet it felt a little messy with the fruit not front and centre and maybe a little too much wood for the quality of fruit, quite spicy and a little hot on the finish. Might improve in the coming years, but doubt this will go above 90.

  Nose is somewhat menthol. Palate: fruit forward (black cherry driven) and grippy tannins. Curious to see how it evolves. Approachable now but certainly more enjoyable from 2025+. Very good QPR - only GBP19 but punches above its weight when comparing versus Cantermele / Belgrave.

  Cherries, currants and cocoa are on the nose and also in the core of this wine. Medium-bodied, soft and vibrant, with a touch of chalk and oak that comes through in the mid-palate and in the fruit-filled endnote. You can open and enjoy this with pleasure on release, with give it a bit of age as well. Drink from 2024-2038.
