Purple core, with just a hint of bricking at the rim. Powdery plum, blackberry, soubois, crushed violets, and anise on the nose. Palate is still surprisingly dense, but follows the nose, with marked acidity. Long (30+ seconds) finish, with a lingering tartness. Very good now, but if I had another bottle I'd hold it for 5+ years.

This was not powerful, but was quite elegant. Deep garnet with a browning rim. Nose is clean, not super perfumed, with raspberry, red fruit, gamey notes, cloves, and a hint of pepper. On the palate, blueberry, red fruits, red licorice, herbs. I think this is a well made wine, but doesn’t bowl me over with complexity and flavor. Solid QPR, but not sure I’d buy again. Unsure if I love the blueberry bomb on the palate.

Dirt, spice, dark fruit. Good mix of acidity and tannin finishes strong. Peaking. Good stuff.
