  April 7, 2023 - Needed a few minutes in the decanter but a very nice bottle after that. Plenty of fruit left to my mild surprise, mostly in the red spectrum. Lighter and fresher than many of the cab-dominated wines tasted alongside. Not falling apart by any means. Kudos!

  October 23, 2010 - Great value for the price. Agree with comments on leathery and rustic. Actually a quick whiff will give you some barnyard ambiance, but none the worst for the tasting. Drank in 2010 and still held up nicely.

  February 3, 2008 - Very dark purple color. When I opened this I could only smell the alcohol and it tasted slightly sour and was very tight. I was nervous that it was not going to be any good. I decanted it for about 5 or 6 hours and when I came back it had completely evolved into a very complex dark, smoky, leathery, and delicious wine. Perfect with a steak. Long finish. Very subtle chocolate which I assume comes from the malbec. Fantastic QPR.

  May 29, 2007 - A bit harsh, but nice tannin and decent flavor. At this price, I'd get it again.
