March 5, 2016 - Very dense, needs more time in cellar.
July 11, 2015 - nice complexity and depth of flavor with leather and bacon fat nuance.
December 13, 2014 - Flavors are knitting together nicely. Plenty of fruit, some pepper, big, heavily extracted dark fruits. Earthy, rich nose. Graphite on the mid palate. Long finish. Lots of enjoyment to be savored here.
November 19, 2014 - nice depth and length. Complexity needs some more time to mature.
November 12, 2014 - Took three days to open up, not sure why, previous opened in an hour???
March 9, 2014 - No real improvement from 11/2012. A nice bottle of wine but not a re-buy. 89+
January 21, 2014 - Very deep purple in color. Great every day wine.
The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like black pepper and blackberry. The body is medium/full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
October 28, 2013 - Very solid QPR. With an hour or so of air, shows deep blueberry and loamy characteristics. Rich fruit, modest tannin. Fruity without being bomby, this has panache and length. Would buy again.
October 23, 2013 - Should continue to improve
March 30, 2013 - deep color, stains glass. Nose of strawberry, blackberry and a hint of fat. On the palate very fruit forward, with long finish. Needs some time to cellar and mellow.
