March 3, 2014 - Agree with juffer. This is better than I remember it to be 1-2 years ago. PnP in glass, drank after 30 minutes. Spice along the sides of the palate. Nose has pleasantly evolved. Flavored of red fruit and berries have nicely integrated. QPR has by far exceeded expectations. I wish I had more. So much for this being outside the "drinking window"

February 17, 2014 - Amazingly, this wine has actually improved. Cinnamon and raspberry nose, good rich mouth feel, with still decent acidity. Perfect with rare pasture raised burgers. I give scores relative to what I expect from a wine, and this definitely exceeds expectations.
