  Drank side by side with a 2013.
  From the first taste this was impressive and more complex than than the 2013. More amber in the glass but with a more expressive nose. Dried fruit up front, brush/forest floor and dark berries mid-palette. Lingering finish.
  While clearly not getting better this is drinking beautifully and worth far more than the $27 paid ~15 yrs ago!

  Really nice wine, held up well. Cassis and blackberry, still ample tannins.

  Cork was dry but the wine was tasty. Decanted and tasted immediately. Fresh and fruity with almost jam like bramble berry and soft tannins. As it breathed the back end flavors were reminiscent of mushroom.
  
  Tried with steak, kale and cheese and it went well with all.

  Held up pretty darned well. Did not expect this QPR to be as good as it was at this age. If you have though, I wouldn't wait much longer.
