Friday, November 6, 2015 - Bought for $30 at my local Binny's. Best QPR I've had this year.
Nose of old saddle leather, spicy cedar, herbs--maybe thyme, with blackberry and currant on the palate. Clean finish, tannins perfectly integrated after an hour of air. Not dried out at all, light without being austere. More wood and underbrush than fruit at this point, which I like, hence the favorable score. Just delicious--I'd love to have this with lamb chops with mint jelly and green beans almondine. For $30, there isn't much better.
