  I have tried a previous vintage and I enjoyed this one more.
  
  Oak on the introduction with notes of dark fruit and berry and vanilla. This opened up fairly nicely and was less sweet than anticipated. Decanted for several hours and this was well worth the price.
  
  Dry, med bodied, smooth and nicely balanced sugar.
  
  Great QPR and I would enjoy this one again.

  Medium red color. Initial smell of alcohol /Schnaps, some Barrique and cranberries ; more red than black fruit. Palate Napa typical in that price range too sweet, but not as bad as expected. Mediocre finish. In general Okayish wine for everyday. Lacks style and complexity.

  Black coffee and some dark fruit aromas, but not much in complexity. Short finish with barely perceptible tannins. Not bad for a party of non-wine snobs, or a not-for-profit event open bar, but not what I would purchase for myself.
