The centerpiece of our family Christmas dinner. Decanted 3+ hours. As expected, this wine owned the table. Drinking outstanding right now, but no concerns if you still have this and are laying it down for more time. Wish I had more of this vintage, but alas, this was the last one in the cellar.

Drinking beautifully right now.

Popped one of these last night. Gave it a good three hour decant. Drinking ok now, but I'm planning to give this one another year or two to let the tannins settle down a bit more.

Still a lot of life left in this. Don't believe the "by 2017" drinking window on CT

Really nice for the price!

Didn't enjoy this as much as previous years. Agree with "thrown together" feeling of other tasting note here.

Very approachable right now. Secondary characteristics really starting to come out. Thoroughly enjoyed this with wild boar pasta at the restaurant.

Agree with much of what has been said by others here. Dark red fruit. Jammy, but not overly so. Surprisingly well integrated tannins for being this young.

Excellent QPR. Would buy again.

Excellent QPR at this price. The person who rated this 68 must have had a flawed bottle. Would buy again.

Intense ruby color. The legs are medium. Smooth medium tannins, medium finish. Lots of mushroom and savory herbal notes. I get notes of plum and red fruit on the nose.

Bright, acidic. Mellowed out some on second day. Expected more tanic structure than was present on this one. Finish was short. Still, a solid wine from Behrens as always.

Strongly agree with other comments. Excellent QPR! This drinks well above its price point.

Agree with others. Great everyday cab at this price!

Agree with what others have said here. Pretty tight right now. I have several of these and decided to open one tonight. Needs to breathe at least 30 minutes before opening up. Drinking very nice, but I'm going to give my other bottles more time.

Tight out of the bottle at first, but really opened up nicely a couple of hours later. Highly recommended

Nice QPR. Got this on WTSO for about $18. Would definitely buy again at that price.

Drinking quite nicely now, especially after decanting a bit. However agree with other reviewers that this one will benefit from more time in the bottle.

Lots of tannins here. Excellent QPR at $15. Agree with kenhud about the finish. Still, very enjoyable and would buy again. Good, but not 90 points in my amateur opinion.

Easy drinking red blend. No complaints at $8.

Inky dark red/blue, but not much going on with this one. Maybe a bad year? Dissappointed.

Nice dry low sugar gewürztraminer. Good with spicy grilled pork.
