September 21, 2020 - It has the remnants of a good wine about it. It's gone downhill in the last couple of years, but I kept one as an experiment, and glad I didn't hold more. No point in holding them longer if you have them, drink up, it's on the downside.
October 7, 2017 - Better, it seems, than the last bottle. A bouquet of rich, dark berries lifts immediately from the glass and becomes more interesting with some time and swirling.
The texture is raw silk and the flavours mouth-filling -- berries, notes of leather and smoke and possibly a hint of cardamon. The finish lingers as the tannins assert to complete the package.
July 16, 2017 - Assume we drank as missing
June 18, 2017 - More fruit than structure, but drinking very well, perhaps at peak. Drink now, very pleasant and enjoyable mid-week wine.
December 11, 2016 - Just OK for what I hoped for. I've had some bottles in the past that were quite exceptional from a QPR standpoint. No depth or complexity. It is always worth the test.
December 9, 2016 - Lovely forward nose of black berry coulis and a hint of tobacco. Firm on the palate, showing more of the blackberries and a bit of black olive. Lingering finish -- felt like a fine cocoa powder coating. A very good wine.
May 26, 2016 - This was extraordinary! Loved every sip. Big, rich and paired perfectly with steak. Unfortunately, we could not find another bottle in this vintage.
April 19, 2016 - Good value. Drinks above its price point.
August 19, 2014 - Not quite where it was 2 1/2 years ago, but still enjoyable.
August 1, 2014 - Great aroma and texture smooch finish
