Burgundies and Barolos (89 & 10 DRC, Clos Vougeot, Lambrays, and more) at Fig Tree (Charlotte, NC): Decanted 4 hours in advance, back in the bottle after 40 minutes uncorked. No sediment. The nose was pleasant but lacked complexity. Soft and flavorful on the palate – rich primary notes of dark fruits, raspberries, and plums. Easy drinking and showing controlled strength. With each sip it improves. Maybe decant 5+ hours next time. A stellar wine.

Cork Vault August Bottle Share--78 Giacosa Riserva, 85 Certan De May, 96 Calon-Segur and more (Charlotte, NC): 90 minute decant. This wine was extremely expressive at the 2 hour mark. Explosive nose of complex red earthy fruits and brown leaves. On the palate vibrant notes of rustic cherries and strawberries filled your senses with integrated tannins resolving into a smooth lengthy finish. A great wine that will age 10+ years easily.

Not quite the QPR one is expecting, but nonetheless a good wine. Ruby in color with a nose of slight cola and red/purple fruit. Tasted purple fruits with some spice coupled with medium acidity and a good long finish.
