Smooth and balanced. Beginning to show a touch of brown on the edges. Drink over the next two years. Mostly new world. Little finish. A little flat in taste. Pleasant drinking but not exciting. Not a good QPR in mid-20's price.

Pretty good. I found the wood a little too heavy. I thought the wine was a little too fruit-forward, though there were some eucalyptus and licorice notes. Minerality was not particularly strong. Overall, the wine seemed like an average Bordeaux.
Edit. Better and more balanced a day later after vacu-vin.

Nice wine overall, dark fruits, squid ink, charred oak, with nice silky texture and good finish. Nice wine for the price.

This combines the best of the old world and the new world of wine.
Old world barnyard, earth and leather; new world fruit and ripeness.

Only bottle I could fit in my suitcase back from France.... Best to drink now with some mild-medium cheese.
