10 years old, this is a delicious cab. Well rounded with plenty of fruit and structure to make it a delightful drink. Had it with steak and Guiness pie - worked great with the richness of the steak pie.

Big, dry,bold. Scents of cedar, anise, and rosemary present a very inviting aroma. Blackberry, and charcoal envelop the palate from this complex mulberry colored cuvée. My next bottle will be opened along side a nice grilled lamb chop!

30 minute decant in the glass through a powered aerator. First thing of note on this wine is its very long cork (longer than my corkscrew). Deep garnet, semi translucent. Nose of slate, strawberry, oak and carnation. Very dry with high tannins and taste is more vegetal and earthy (rocks) than fruit. Medium acidity. Long but somewhat sour finish. Not really the taste profile I look for but this one feels like it will improve with age and has the backbone to do so. Nose is its best feature. 89-90 for now. Not very good QPR at $80.
Does improve with more airtime so recommend a long decant if you drink it now.

No noticeable flaws on the nose but on the palate was a different story. Wet newspaper with a harsh bitter finish.
