(3018 views) | | | Tasted by jordanj on 10/18/2008 & rated 87 points: Interesting nose. Very earthy, mineral, moss, dirt, very slight hints of floral tones, some banana. The wine lacks any sense of focus. In the mouth the wine is very light and smooth. Very easy drinking with no hard edges. Well balanced. The palate is earthy with some chocalote flavors. The finish is long, spicy and herbal. Excellent QPR and a great 87 pointer and can sit for another 7 years.

(1466 views) | | | Tasted by kanwingshing on 3/18/2007 & rated 88 points: Without decanting: Fruit on nose, light to medium bodied. Tannin is big and chewy but quite fine. Initial fruitness takes over by acidity on the medium finish. After 2 hours of decanting: nose open up to a very rasiny, almost jammy aroma. Still soild medium bodied. Tannin tones down. Acidity is also more balanced. Rasiny character reaveals on pallet even more and carries all the way to finish.
