Second time drinking, overperformer for the price. Had with some steaks, opened and let breathe in the bottle for an hour or so. Didn’t show as well as first bottle, but little past its window perhaps. Great buy in any case

Okay. The previous bottle I had was obviously spent. I realize that now. This bottle was really nice. The stewed plum, overripe flavor that I got last time was just a flawed bottle. This bottle was nicely matured and still alive. Dark blackberry and cassis nose. Dry mouthfeel with ripe blackberry and a tiny hint of Majik marker. Lots of sediment. Very good, mature wine for $18.

Overall a pretty disappointing experience, most of the bottles had Brett. It must be the style and that is not a style I enjoy, I think it’s actually pretty gross. Will not be buying from this producer ever again.

Impressed with first glass right out of the bottle. Bold tannins. Good for the price. Not as good the second day.

Popped and poured.
Very medium everything. The red fruits. The body. The acidity. The tannins. And I say that in a good way. Great QPR.
