September 20, 2022 - Good if unremarkable. Probably peaked about five years ago. Time to drink it up if still holding.

September 29, 2017 - Dark purple with big thick legs. Nose of burnt cherries and cinnamon. Soft mouthfeel cherry and black raspberry. Glycerin and nutmeg on the finish. This is an amazing wine at 17 years old, wish I had more!

November 17, 2016 - shifts a bit...but from good/good to good/better....11 years old and still has vibrant blueberries, strawberry fruit, soft tannins, and floral edges. For $20 on auction...a great QPR.
