  October 30, 2020 - All the other reviews were from 2014. Happy to say the wine was still in good shape. Dark plummy colors and full of fruit. My issue was this was a little sweet and lacked balance. Maybe unfair drinking this after a killer Brunello.

  October 31, 2014 - Surprisingly good. Drinking perfectly right now. Got some traditional flavors of pepper and spice and also a bit of the new world going on. But yes just good. Don't wait too much longer

  March 30, 2012 - Popped and poured. Concur with a prior review that this is drinking beautifully immediately after opening and continued to improve over the next hour. Well balanced, with blackberry flavors and smooth finish.
  
  Very delicious and much improved over the last two bottles I had several years back.
  Too bad this was my last one...

  January 30, 2012 - A bit of earthy funk on the nose when first opened with tasty fruit on the palate. Bracing acidity on the finish smoothed out nicely with a couple hours of air. Held up well for 10 years and for $25 quite a good QPR!

  September 28, 2010 - Drinking beautifully immediately after popping the cork, with improvement over the next 1-2 hours. The last glass approx. 4 hours later however a complete disjointed mess!
