Decanted for 2 1/2 hours before consumption. A bit of a Bing cherry on the nose with a hint of strawberry. Tastes of cherries and a slight leather earthy tone. Not very tannic. A decent finish and worth having again.

Long decant of two and half hours, a very dark purple pour. The bouquet has a strong dark cherry component to it along with a hint of vanilla. The palate is slightly plummy with the dark cherry component very present, it is soft and voluptuous and rich in body with a medium finish. Counoise is not easy to find in my neck of the woods, glad to have had the chance to try it, as a comparison it is like a zin without the spice

Dark, ripe, juicy, black raspberry, dark strawberry, and black cherries, with florals and IRON, and a hint of herbs... wonderful texture.. not to heavy, not to light, with balanced fruit, acid, tannin and alcohol... round and supple.. Great QPR! Simple, yet complex and complete. Very enjoyable.
