  Medium high intensity with the alcohol well hidden, lavender, some leather and earthy tones, forward primary fruit like cherries. Flavours profile is just ripe and lively with red fruits like cherries, medium acidity accompanies the fruit. On the mid palate, dark plums, vanilla and chocolate shows when it has opened up, full bodied, tannins are big but smooth and not rough, alcohol is noticeable but much fruit flavours left at the finish compensates its burning sensation. Good wine.

  Delicious wine, but like the 18 that I tried last year, I don't quite see the QPR here (sad as I like to think of myself as a Mouiex Fan!).
  
  I liked the earthy "funk" (as a Northern Rhone nut), and hope that the wine requires some additional time to become more elegant and complex.
  
  Will save my remaining bottle for it's 10th birthday to see how it progresses. It may be in a weird stage right now.

  Still too young to drink for my palette. High acidity and 2 hours of decanting were nothing for this youthful beauty. Peppery smell and fruit forward.
