Community Tasting Notes 14

  November 28, 2011 - Opened Saturday night, ran through the vinturi, drinking out of Riedel stems. Initial nose of wet earth, and some blackberry. Pretty tight, decanting would help this wine open. Let sit in the glass for 20 minutes or so,( forgot to mention drinking at 58 degrees). A medium to full bodied wine, w/flavors that are still tight, but flavors of chocolate, raspberry and plum coming on, but taking a couple hours. This wine is balanced and neat, w/nice acidity backing up the flavor. Day 2 Wine has blossomed w/the chocolate standing out, and a casis, tobacco note that is quite tasty. If this wine would have lasted another day, I could see it getting better, but I had the final two glasses Sunday evening. If stored properly, I can see this going another couple years. Pretty solid effort for the $6.99 paid from Grocery Outlet, last year. Living in the NW and drinking the many rich, flavorful reds out of Washington, this style is much more restrained, classical than I'm used to, so I might be biased in that sense, vs some of the other higher scores I've seen on CT. If you can find this, at the forementioned price, a nice deal.

  August 15, 2011 - Predominantly carignan. Nice wine, approachable QPR, with additional weight in the mid palate. Blackberry, earth, cassis, tea leaf and speckles of chocolate. Finish lingers longer than I expected. Plenty of backbone and well balanced for a simple everyday wine.

  April 3, 2011 - Blackberry, rhubarb, anise, and earth on the nose. Dark fruit, with firm undertones of wet soil and cedar on the palate, along with a hint of tobacco. Lovely acidity. Light to medium bodied. Great value.

  January 20, 2011 - Still a really good wine. QPR is terrific. But the vintage is gone, and if you have it, drink it.
