  Dark ruby red with pink rim. Strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, cedar, zesty, spices, floral, liquorice, tobacco and herbs. Full bodied, medium-high acidity, medium-high structure, medium-high tannin, and medium-high alcohol. Bold, complex and elegant. Wine on the cusp on entering tertiary phase. Long sweet peppery finish.
  
  This bottle had a lot of cellaring potential ahead of it.

  As always, this wine benefits from a few hours of air. Dark fruits and earth dominate. This particular bottle lacked the character of previous bottles. One left that I'm saving for a lamb dish, should be a tremendous pairing.

  Dusty fruit nose. Blackberry / Marionberry moving straight towards minerality . Long finish. Some tannin remaining. Really nice, impressive.

  A bit funky on the nose and initial mouthfeel, but really opened up - smooth and velvety.
  
  I think it might've been a slightly irregular bottle - as I've had this in the past with better results.

  Pop and pour. Dark garnet on the color. Dark fruit on the nose. SMooth, a little tannic with spice and a little chocoloate to taste. Good finish. At $30 a pop, not a great QPR, otherwise, a good daily drinker.
