Solid. True to its character, streamlined, quality dark cherry fruit, no ostentation. Holding up well. Paired nicely with pork chops stuffed with pesto along roasted onions, tomatoes and balsamic.

This bottle = relative "yuck". Quite stewed. Not a fan of pureed prunes, but that's what this particular bottle is noted for. Hope for better the next time around...

Really liking this; excellent QPR. Great balance. Quite floral initially, then picks up some earthiness and a little anise. Drinking quite well now, but no apparent rush.

I can't believe I haven't posted a review of this before. Its GREAT. Its one of my primo go to wines on a weekday night. Deep rich tannins, dark fruits, tobacco, bitter almonds that go on and on. Long finish.

4/5 - Drinking well, nice floral and earthy aromas. Quite smooth, with soft tannin.
Can sit longer. But nice now
