Had w friends at dinner after a 2013 nota bene. Interesting contrast. The NB was fantastic as usual, and this has a different flavour profile with the different blend, showed good balance, w fruit of cherries, cassis and blackberries, some white pepper and lovely finish. Wish i had more of this vintage.

Sweet notes on the nose, dark fruits, tannins, lots of good stuff like cherries, blackberries, and cassis. At $40 the QPR is exceptional. If you have any left, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Lariana "Thirteen" to "Eighteen" Vertical, and some BC Rosés: Had as part of a "Thirteen" to "Eighteen" vertical (I didn't have the foresight to keep any "Twelve").
Nose is fading – a bit of a port quality. Stewed cherries and plums, coffee. Mid length finish.
It has a few more years in it, but is ready to be enjoyed unless you're trying to keep a future vertical intact.
10 tasters - this was #2!

Bought an extra bottle from Cafe Brio in Victoria in 2021.
An excellent wine now all gone.
