Surprised this is drinking so well. Blackberry and cedar nose. Rich, but not over the top mouth. Ample but savory fruit on the long finish. Perfect with steak in place of a steak. Great QPR as a mid-tier Napa replacement on steak night at a fraction of the price.

Watery blood red, definitely has some age but not too brick-brown, not washed out on the edges, a nice garnet color. Strawberry (ripe, dried) and plum maybe a little red currant and some herbs and pleasant earthy funk. Still some fruit, acidity, and fine tannins. Glad this isn’t over the hill, but it won’t last much longer. Cork was crumbly but did its job. Served with chicken, red pepper, and onion “arroz con cosas.” As it evolved in the glass, flat cola and the slightest hint of prune/raisin emerged.

Funky barnyard nose, much better after it opened up and with food. Nothing special

Nothing "off", just nothing special.

Really funky - lots of barnyard. Still needed a long decant.
