Definitely suggest decanting this wine for at least 30 min before getting a good read on this wine. My cellar is about 57 degrees so it needs to open up and get to room temperature and I find the wine starts to open up after about 30-45 minutes. I found the wine to be garnet in color with medium to long legs. The nose has Cherry, and Red Currant, with a hint of Blackberry, Cedar, and Black Pepper. It tastes like Red Currant and Blackberry, and Plum with a smidge of Cedar and Black Pepper. The wine is medium to full body, with a polished texture and a medium finish.

Clear red-garnet. Jammy raspberry spread on leather. Tart strawberries and red cherries, smooth woody tannins, a little heat, and a medium finish. Decent, but not great QPR.

Big and juicy BBQ red. Showed some tannins as well. Better than I expected.

Well, full body...no. Easy finish ... Yes.
Used the balance of the bottle on some sautéd onions and mushrooms. After reduction... Delicious!
