This wine is good. I feel like that bears stating at the outset given than someone actually called it “maybe the worst wine I’ve ever had.” What a luxury that would be, if it were true. Is it acidic? Not really especially at this point, but thankfully enough to have aged a bit with some grace. Does it have fruit? It has plenty, and it’s not f’ed with by lots of oak and is starting to develop some nice secondary characteristics now. Could it have aged further? Definitely, but perfectly ready to go now. Is it amazing or revelatory is any way? Not really. It’s a nice, but not super remarkable wine that I certainly enjoyed but would not consider great qpr.
Don’t believe the extremist views of this wine on either side. This wine is normal. This wine is good.

Lovely nose of dark fruit, pepper, spices, violets, and a hint of smoke. Well integrated tannins with good acidity and more dark fruit and flowers on the palate. Very long finish. What a beautiful wine! The best Donkey & Goat we've had so far.

Still not a fan of this. Tart. Extreme acid. Muted fruit. Little hope for my remaining bottles. Sadly.

Sadly, definitely past prime at this point. Nose is still quite beautiful and the attack is decent but it falls apart almost immediately after that.
