Community Tasting Notes 26

  January 27, 2023 - Rating here reflects QPR. Slight bricking on the rim, red brownish color. On the nose, wow, perfectly ripe cherries and obvious coca cola with some petroleum vicks (the thing you put on your throat when you’re sick). You get that this has age but acidity and fruit is still very much present. This is in perfect balance between fruit, secondaries and tertiaries, and for the price… I don’t remember being that satisfied. I would say open now and have a fkn blast. Cheers!

  June 7, 2020 - 8 years after my first bottle. Pnp. Some oak on the nose with dark fruit. On the palate still fairly rich and round. Tannins not entirely integrated but not obtrusive at all. Aromatically fairly muted (but not closed), lacks depth and complexity for a better rating. Short finish.
  Not bad, but there are clearly better (second) wines in 2009. Drink over the next 5 years. 88-89

  January 10, 2020 - Started out tart but opened up, balanced, good fruit, smooth tannins, good bouquet, lots of flavor, drank easily with London broil, a classy wine, aged gracefully, would drink again.

  November 10, 2019 - Corked. Too bad because the palate was pretty good but the nose was shot.
