Decanted for approx. 30 minutes…Rich, without being heavy. Tart cherries to open and mineral mid. Nice acid pop and good backbone. Just really well made wine in a very good place right now. Smooth, but with decent complexity, and intact tannins.

Seven years since my last bottle and definitely think this is nearing the end of its drinking window. Not at all bad, but fruit has dissipated, to a wisp of sour cherry at the open. Very dry, retains a hint of richness, but acid pop more predominant. Definitely feels like time to drink up.

Restaurant purchase…Very good QPR Bordeaux blend. Silky, Cab forward with berries to open and a wisp of vanilla, well balanced with a nice backbone.
