  November 28, 2020 - Wow. Superbly well-balanced and coming into its own. Black cherry, raspberry and plums framed by subtle spicy/minty oak with a hint of tobacco; 45-second finish with balance and complexity. Maybe just a touch hot? Hoping I can find another bottle or two in the stacks as this might be the best 2014 I've had this year.

  April 17, 2020 - Simple, balanced, overall enjoyable. Nice dark red fruit and a little vanilla on the nose. The fruit follows with a supple mouth feel and well integrated oak + tannins. It finishes a bit hot, I wouldn’t decant and recommend drinking at cellar temp. 30% off thanks to a Black Friday, otherwise there are better QPR options.

  November 17, 2019 - Wow, so far, nothing special. Chilled for about 30 minutes and then opened and did a quick PnP taste. The rest is decanting.
  
  Nice aroma and started out great, but it just died. The finish could be measured in single digit seconds! Unless this improves significantly, I can see why Costco is selling this for $30 and even at that $, it’s only a Fair QPR! No need to get more.

  July 17, 2019 - Considering price and pedigree I'm not sold. Day one, rather one dimensional and acidic. Day two it opened but not into anything special. Maybe next bottle ��
