Initially this wine was very tannic and almost an abrasive finish. It improved over the next two days. Dark fruit with opulent mouthfeel and richness. Some secondary characteristics of saddle leather and earth with smooth silky tannins. Very enjoyable at day two. IMHO needs lots of air. Probably will improve with a year of cellaring. Very attractive QPR.
