Second bottle of same wine was better.

Tasty and well structured . . . I could drink this everyday. QPR is a little off but this wine has a fantastic aroma supported by a chill smooth vibe supported with just the right amount of acidity and tannin. Let’s open another one . . .

Coravin’d at cellar temp lead to a muted bouquet which I accepted as a thing of beauty. Super fruit bomb on the palate jammy with some deeper warm berry. Nice potential for laying down for a few more years to bring out the true structure and showcase the elegance defined by the aroma.

Crushed stone, leather, and deep fruit. Plenty of acidity and fruit to age for another 5 years. Recommend decanting hard before serving to let the wine open up.

Great little Mourvèdre qpr. Double decanted for about an hour. Rustic and great early autumn, end of long day wine. Not very complex or much of a finish but full on the front. Good drink nonetheless. Another year will smooth the acidity a bit.

Have had two bottles in the last week. Very pleasant though a bit early. If not going to leave it open for a couple of hours, you will probably miss the balance of the lively fruit notes and burgundian structure. Will drink well '14 - '16. Should buy now. Offers great value.

Drink fast -- like now. Dark ruby color but opens with leather and age on the nose. Some structure left. Acidity is firm, but whats left of the fruit is loose and too jammy. Not working well together generally, but the components are mildly interesting. Now that my note is done, I might toss the rest.

I know its past its prime, but double decanted for an hour and it still has structure. Cherry and a little spice. Finish a little syruppy. No must or age. I'd drink it sooner than later if you have it.
