  March 20, 2017 - 5 Years ago I noted:
  Nice QPR. Very serviceable bordeaux. As noted by others, quite tannic. Decanted for 3 hours. (87 points)
  Now:
  The tannins have smoothed out. No evidence of fading. Very nice

  January 10, 2016 - Still terrific. Soft, well-balanced, nice fruit, very soft tannins. Tremendous value.

  May 15, 2015 - Upon P&P thru a Vinturi, initial nose and palate were kind of sharp, and because cork in a magnum bottle was heavily staine, I feared that the wine might have oxidized. Within 10-15 minutes, my fears were dismissed and the wine became softer on both the nose (very fresh fruit/cedar) and on the palate. After re-opening at a restaurant dinner and for another 2+ hours, it became increasingly more interesting. MUCH more fruit on the nose and palate, with a velvety smooth mouth feel. Probably a 91 after 3 hours+. A great QPR I would buy again at $37/Magnum. Aside from the cork issue, I think this could age a few more years. CT shows one more in my collection, but it is not in that location. I need to search for it.

  March 23, 2015 - Surprisingly good for a budget buy back in 2011. It's tight upon opening, but use of a Vinturi and a bit of air has it showing nicely in no time. So many things going on with this wine, and I'm shocked it's holding up so well.
