Quick note only. Much less fruit forward than the 2009 and more complex than the 2010. This is my favorite of the three. I’m still holding my 2008 bottles so I cannot compare. Definitely in a nice place now and should hold a few more years.

P&P. Spicy black cherry and plum fruit, savory barrel notes, cracked pepper, finishing with espresso. Surprised how savory this wine is, compared to other vintages I've had (the 2008 only a couple weeks ago). Could be the vintage...cool weather in 2011. I love savory Syrah though. Drink now - 2021.

Wonderfully rich fruit on the nose and palate. Blue berry, black berry and plums with a hint of earthy richness. A little tart on the finish. Overall, very good QPR. Glad to have a couple more!

Really earthy, with black cherry fruit. Tobacco, mocha and spice. Nice wine but a tad thin for my tastes. Drink now - 2020.

gave it about 45 minutes in the glass. Not quite as good as last time. Maybe bottle variation or not enough air. Very meaty.
