A lot better than about 6 years ago. Vanilla, fruit … Full bodied, velvety, deep. No decant. Open right away. Fun wine that pleases everybody. Great tannin structure. Good.

Drank blind among a bunch of 2012s (Hobbs, Opus, Lokoya, Greer, etc.). This more than held its own. When labels/prices were revealed, this was the unanimous QPR winner.

This bottle showed post-peak characteristics, although still very good. Nose is good off the top, tannins are subdued, fruit has weakened. I gave it 2 hours of air with no decant before we consumed. This one can be popped and poured.

Drinking great. Red fruit nose, dark
Fruit on the palate. Silky fruit with soft tannins.
