  Dark fruit with lots of savory, earthy, funky notes on the nose. Well balanced fruit and acidity. Medium-full body. Well integrated tannins have just a bit of chew. Medium-low oak. Very nice complexity with lots of savory components. Medium-long finish. Excellent overall. Great QPR. Drinking beautifully right now and I wouldn't expect it to get any better.

  Deep violet in glass. Opened up over the course of drinking to reveal blue and black fruits, leather, pain grille. Backward on the palate but showing some good structure and balance. Will need 2-3 years to come around.
