Not sure a better QPR exists. Incredible complexity with ripe plums, stewed tomatoes, olives, eucalyptus and myriad herbs and spices with a nice beam of acid and tannin still present. Ridiculously peppery, spicy and gamey nose - what fun!

Pnp through Nuance. Plum color. Dark fruit, faint cherry, a little spice on the nose. On the palate, blackberries, a little grit and burn. 88pts. Aloha!

For me, this is too ripe and alcoholic, though it is not super heavy. It has very nice flavor and, if you are into the newer-style CDP (Parkerized, 2007 style) you will love this, at it is similar but with more pure fruit and not quite as heavy.

Been 8 years since my last review. I'm amazed how well this has aged.. excellent, well balanced. Wish i had more.

Hmmm, I think this has gone backwards since my last bottle. Quite a lot of alcoholic heat on its own, but calms down in the presence of a hearty stew.
