This has elegance to go with its power, and the finish doesn't quit. Red cherry, black cherry, licorice and black olive flavors that sail smoothly through a very long, expressive finish.

This wine was in a weird place based upon others reviews and my own experience 2 years ago. It was fruit forward, somewhat confectionary. Hot, disjointed. Not flawed, just not good. Outshown by the others we had last night.

opened 3 hours prior to drinking. pours very dark in the glass. nose of cocoa, the alcohol, then blackberries. On the palate, blackberries continuing to an extended finish. the alcohol keeps this from being a great wine.

Aged in French oak (90% new). 240 cases produced.

Good but not great juice, not so good QPR. Maybe just past its prime. Prefer some of K Vintners or Owen Roe's offerings.
