April 17, 2013 - One of the prettiest corks I have ever seen, crystallized sugars coated the bottom of the cork. One of the darkest wines, yet it isn't thick or over the top. Wonderful change of pace and a great QPR.

As for the wine I would say that the Merlot is also wonderful. You can get the Claret at hdh wine, for a pretty good $. I think the '04(which is great) is @ $85-90. -

I have generally been limited to dealing directly with a wine shop near my home as I am generally not home to sign for online shipments, but after seeing some of the selection and pricing on hdh I might give it another shot.
