December 11, 2023 - Thought I was pulling the 2016. Whoops! Great wine, flavors consistent with my prior note. Was outstanding on day 2, so this has many years of enjoyment ahead.

November 25, 2023 - This QED came through as a strangely solid pairing to the paella recipe from American Test Kitchen. After downing some grower champagne from Fat Cork with 3 dozen oysters from Taylor Shellfish I was searching for a red. There it was … and yum! On the nose I feared a fickle mistress but the first sip rang true - perfect balance of Syrah and Mourvèdre- inky mystery married with shrimp, clams, mussels, chicken and chorizo. I know I’m writing more about food but the wine intermingled with each flavor in a 1+1=3 equation.

October 31, 2023 - Opened up over two hours. Dark fruit, luscious mouth feel, rich tannins and long groovy finish. Still young and likely to improve a bit more next couple years. Excellent QPR.

September 12, 2023 - 90 min decant; paired with grilled pork chops. Brightly fruited and showing strawberry and raspberry along with sweet pipe tobacco, vanilla and a hint of tar. A zip of acidity cuts the fatty pork nicely, and the tannins are well-integrated. Drinking well on day 2 also, but no rush to pop this one. Drink now - 2032.

July 7, 2023 - Concur with the bad doctor. Excellent value, tends to darker fruits and flavors, and good length.
