WOW!!... what a QPR, this was running hard right out of the bottle, tripartide mix of beautiful rich red / dark red fruit, Xmas spices, and acid grip... just truly luxurious and lush but with grip to keep it real, fantastic mouthfeel, this was simply fantastic... if it had improved (and I really thought it would) on night two, this $38 bottle of wine could have been the biggest outperformer I had ever experienced, unfortunately it was "only" very good on night two (a little below quality on night one), I had thought this could be a 94/95 but it clearly didn't up its game on night two so sadly a 92 overall rating... still one to buy buy buy (even if there is a need to drink up in the next 4-6 years)

Youthful, vibrant fruit. Great match for roasted chicken. Drink or hold. First bottle was corked.

Quite lovely plum and high-toned floral notes. Well-balanced.
