Plums and cinnamin, nice body.

May have done better decanting. Damp rotting leaves and tobacco nose, berries in the front, tart yet sweet mid with very nice body, medium tannic finish.
Expected more at this price point. Dark chocolate and cherry nose, thin finish.
Fruity front, tart mid with bit of lemons, not much in the finish.
Toasted candy nose, creamy sweet fruit front, a bit too much tannins.
Pepper nose, well balance, nice body, bit of tannins, long finish. Great QPR.
Rotten fruit nose, fruit and jam front, smooth midpalate, pepper finish which was nice and long.
Oak and blackberry nose, smooth midpalate, a bit chewy, vanilla finish.
Cedar, dusty, earthy nose and taste, sweet front, very chewy. Sucked all the moisture from my mouth on the finish. May be better in a few years.
Dark cherry nose, fruit front, very tannic finish.
