  This wine is still holding up very well. A bunch of mixed fruits, blackberry, blueberry and raspberry with a well rounded amount of oak. Tannins are still present, but softening. Well judged acidity and a long finish make this a great value wine for the money. Wish I still had a few more bottles.

  Blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, figs, fine leather and some biscuit notes on the nose. Less variety on the palate - blackberries and cedar. Tannins are still present and a bit drying. Could use a few more years to mellow.

  Dark ruby red. Nose of some dark sweet fruits - raspberry and blackberry with hints of oak. Light to medium bodied, well approachable and fruit forward with a sweet core. Pretty pleasant tannins with a long finish. Good QPR!
