Nice, but takes time to smooth out . Day one was tight, and hard to pin down. Day two however! very nice nose with some oak, plum and earth. Palate had caramel and cola notes. Finish was in the middle an nice.

This year the nose still has oak and dark cherry, but not finding any plum. Some aroma of alcohol present. The palate was tasting plum, lighter on the pepper and some vanilla is showing up. Still finishing smooth and nice. Has come into its own for the QPR.

Nose shows more structure and balance, had at a grill bday party. Had let it breath for again about 30min in the bottle after pouring out about a glass worth of wine to try. Nose showed some dark cherry and plum with oak, the palate had more integration of the plum and pepper, as well as some raspberry. Finished nice and smooth.

More balanced nose than previous reviewers. Seems to be coming into its own. Let it breath for 30min, plum and pepper starting to meld well and was enjoyable for sipping. Had with a pasta red sauce meal, nicely matched.

Hasnt changed much at all from my last review. Slightly smoother or more refined. Pleasure to drink.
