Tight as heck. Decanted for three hours and still very shy. Black currant and a hint of pine on the nose. The palate is silky and full of blackberry, licorice with a hint of spice and good acid but still very pronounced tannins. The finish is lasting with a hint of minerality and a nice alcohol pop. Needs more time to really shine

Hazy notes from last night. This was disappointing given the price. Confectionary sugar notes on the nose and too much sweetness on the smooth, medium bodied palate for my liking (B+).

Horrible QPR. Meaning, way too expensive but a great bottle of Cab/Petite Verdot that can age additional years. Should be had with a nice steak. In fact, it needs to be paired with food...

Good, but can find better at this price point. Paired well with steak.

Still has plenty of time to age, seems a little expensive but still a lovely wine from a great vintage.
