The cork was almost completely stained but intact. Decanted for 1/2 hour. This is really singing now. Leather and dark fruit on the nose. Medium bodied, supple, rather youthful with plenty of dark tart cherries, leather and funky notes. Firm acidic structure and vibrant tannins with a nice dusty kick on the finish. Hedonistic stuff. Don´t know if a chianti can get much better than this.

Black cherry, leather. Some fine tannins remain. Crisp acidity perfect with tomato based pasta dish. Has a few more years of potential.

Last bottle. Still drinking great. Cherry, damp earth, some tertiary notes of sous bois, leather. Outstanding QPR.

Fully mature. Cherry, earth, good grip and bite. Delicious. I would drink remaining bottles over the next few years.
