A nose of dark fruits and some spices, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, blackberry, spices on a long finish, was very good, in a great drinking zone. A great QPR. www.winelx.com

needs a lot of air time before tasting; some notes of green pepper initially; 2011 was a tough year; this is well extracted and consequently shows firm body, mild tannins tho; a wee bit of under-ripe notes; gets better and better after opened, like over 5 hours, so be patient

Still not rockin the big Stags Leap richness, but the edges are rounded and really a good QPR.
Time is working it’s magic!
