This is what I drink wine for. Still needed a little air time, but structured with dark fruits, very long finish. A pleasure to sip. Held this for more than 10 years and it was so worth it.

Unbelievable for the price. After all this time, much of my original note seems so wrong. Nice, peppery nose, floral, red berries. Medium body, but lots of dark flavors on the palate. Dry on the back end, medium finish. Really tasty, great QPR.

Color is ruby red, no bricking, still some youth left in it. It still needs at least an hour in the glass (or a decant) before you'll notice lots of fruit to offset the initial jarring acidity & tannins. Pretty well balanced after it comes together. Medium-length finish, good with food.
