  Inky black. Nose of leather and spice with a hint of blackberry. Wonderfully balanced mouthfeel; the leather and spice hint upon tasting with the blackberry playing with dark cherry overtones of the grapes. Not feeling bad about still having another bottle in the cellar.

  Dark & rich garnet color with a very inviting nose of muted barnyard floor, cassis & raspberries.
  
  Wonderful complex palate of pencil lead, blackberry, black cherry, cola, cedar all wonderfully balanced in full cedar note tannins and a long wonderful finish.
  
  This has gotten much better and in my mind in its prime. Wonderful QPR!

  Heavy oak early that disipated over the evening. A good wine that pairs well with food. Was not as good the second night.

  A very decent, but not very complex, offering.
