August 7, 2022 - Consistent with previous bottles, but possibly the best bottle yet - great QPR, especially for anyone who had the patience to wait this long. Hint: wasn't me.

September 9, 2020 - Medium ruby red color with with a 4mm clear margin. PNP, drank 2 glasses with pizza from Pezzo. My last bottle and first in four & a half years, well dang if this wasn't just delightful tonight. My wife was pretty skeptical to begin with and was very pleased as she drank it. At ten years of age, this is showing a lot of refinement and resolution. The nose is distinctly cherry, with a lot of underbrush, spice and after an hour you get an expected floral perfume. The palate is medium bodied, tart red cherry, fine grain tannins, hints of red berries, underbrush, earth, crushed stone, and lovely spices. Really wish I had more now.
