Popped and poured into a large Pinot style glass. Rich purple look with thick vinuous streaks on the glass. On the nose there was a characteristic nose of black pepper, currants, gentle mustiness and herbs. On the tongue it is very balanced with hints of smoke, tobacco, wet earth and tannins. A very nice QPR with a variety of cheeses. I give this 89 - 90. I also think there is room for additional evolution.

Barn yard on the nose, and the taste has Black Cherry, very balanced with a finish with grass/hay
