This was great. A lot like an old Bordeaux in a lot of ways. Had a few minutes here and there that were surprisingly harsh and acidic while otherwise it was nicely integrated. Great with short ribs.

Popped and poured. Aroma of earth and bramble, with a note of fragrant gardenia. Subtle, mellow flavors of cassis and allspice, black pepper mid palate. smooth, lingering finish. Mature but fresh and lively, firm backbone, complex, delightful. Probably not going to get any better than this, but no sign of decline either. Intriguing and delightful wine.

Drinking great now, fully mature with still fresh red/blue fruits on the nose/palate. Also a bit of earth & potpourri. Integrated medium acid/tannins. Tasty wine.

This is very good, doesn't need a decant, and delivers lots of raisin and black pepper. Great QPR.
