Ruby color. Subtle cherry and berry on the nose, with peppercorns, cedar and a nice smoky aspect to it. Cherry and tobacco palate, with a quick finish. Almost a bit of herbal tea on the bouquet and palate. Truly amazing wine. Great QPR, and a year later this bottle is better than the first.
Bouquet is dominated a spicy aspect, with a decent amount of cherry, hints of chocolate, and some transitory plum. The spice becomes very muted on the palate, which makes for an interesting transition, with moderate tannins. A nice full body wine, and a much better balance than at the tasting room last year.

Pear and citrus on the nose, perhaps a bit nutty. The Gerwurztraminer definitely shines through in the bouquet. The palate is perfect for a sweet wine, and the RS is just right. QPR is OK.
