Tasted over 2 hrs and day 2, bottle from secondary market -med dark red purple no bricking -pretty dark-fruited plum cassis lightly spiced with a faint whiff of maturity -med/med- acidity is just enough to provide some verve, med weight round simple but full gentle dark fruits with an earthy note and faint maturity, med- tannins largely resolved; soft round and full on day 2 -nicely balanced pleasant easy-drinking and squarely on its prime drinking plateau, no hurry but wouldn't expect significant positive development from here either, outrageously good for the price

Mostly cherry on the nose; cherry, strawberry, raspberry flavors plus a hint of anise(?). Light in body and color but does that Burgundy trick of managing to have a persistent finish despite being a featherweight.

As noted below, upon opening this was surprisingly good. After an hour decant this was still very good. Light color, Cherry and plum on the nose. Cherry flavor prevailed, with blackberry and bramble on the...wait for it...finish. Great QPR, very good wine.
