June 23, 2023 - Delicious, great QPR. Cherry, dark berry aromas pervade. Lovely, easy drinking.

April 8, 2022 - Red fruit, cherry, blackberry, flowers and lots of delicate, Margaux perfume. Delicious with our slow-roasted duck and herbal, roasted chicken. Drink now but has some time, too. Great QPR for $22

January 31, 2021 - PnP, probably should have decanted or provided more time, tight in the beginning.
.
Black fruit begins to push through the high tannins about an hour in. Slight mint, eucalyptus emerging on the finish.
.
Day2 - tannins still in high gear, fruit a little more muted. A very enjoyable pairing with scratch made pizza and lasagna 🍷

January 29, 2021 - Red fruit, blackberry, flowers and some perfume. Delicious with our roast, herbal chicken and even better with our gold potatoes. Really improving with age. Good qpr for $22.
Drink now or hold.
