Popped and poured to enjoy after dinner with Ali. Perfect cork demonstrating that the wine was cared for well before getting to my cellar. This wine retains a core of sweet fruit like a modern Pomerol. Fully resolved tannin and velvety in the mouth. Good concentration. Great QPR.

At thirteen years this is nearing the end of its prime drinking window as the fruit is starting to lose its bright vibrancy and take on a more intense raisiny tone, which wife Linda actually likes.
Dark ruby red color, medium bodied, moderately complex, rather intense blackberry, black cherry with a layer of leather, tobacco and spice turning to full but approachable firm tannins and well balanced acidity on the lingering finish.

Very tasty wine, especially with our grilled Australian lamb loin chops. Red fruit, spice, leather and a hint of chocolate. Great qpr for $20
