  March 3, 2018 - Pretty much a unanimous wine of the night vote. This one had dark black cherry, licorice, herbal notes in the middle, black pepper finish. Still very fruit forward. Lots of people guessing Northern Rhone on this one given the fruit expression. The 15% Syrah in this wine gives it a lot of balance and quite a bit of depth. This one you can hold a good 10 years longer if desired. Or bring it out for your CDP fanatics and they will love this one.

  April 28, 2017 - Classic, QPR CdP. All the elements are there: balance, fruit, acidity, and tannin. Glad I opened one. Good drinking window for a wine with great-character.

  May 31, 2014 - I found this to be a great example of classic CdP. It packed some power but in a way that was well-balanced. The fruit and acid were a good match for the overall power. Going to hold onto my last of these for a while longer as I could see this improving even more with some additional bottle age.
