January 8, 2018 - Opened and tasted over the course of several hours. Pours very dark. Big, intense blue fruit and oak on the nose. Also noted where plenty of baking spice and chocolate. Rich and almost creamy on the palate, but thoroughly enjoyable. Hedonistic, yes, but with a hint of acidity to attempt reigning in the sweet fruit and wood flavors. While not normally my style, I really liked where this was.

December 1, 2012 - Solid QPR. Bold fruit with herbal and menthol notes. A little flat on the finish but overall good.
