Brought it to a party. Give this wine plenty of time to open up prior to drinking as it got better as time went on. If you're still holding on to one of these would recommend you drink it soon as it's reached it's peak. Color is more of brick red. Still a very nice wine with plenty of character and depth

Always a very enjoyable bottle. Some (rather surprising) slight bricking to the color; otherwise very light red. Nose and palate solidly on the "red fruit" end of the scale. I'll call it raspberry -- only to call into contrast the wine when first tried in 2008, which was remarkably strawberry-ish. 90 point wine then, 90 point wine now, just different. Well made, great balance. Great QPR. One quiblle is that this always goes down way too fast (which I guess is a good thing......).

The wine looks Amber colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Strawberry, Strawberry Jam, Mushroom, Forest floor, Cedar, and Stems and has a bit of herbal notes. It tastes like Forest floor, and Mushroom. The finish is smooth and a bit warm.

This bottle was past its prime with very little fruit left. Should have opened this sooner.

Quite European, delicate with finesse. Well done!
