Cork was very tight. Cheap corkscrew didn't work well, composite cork broke. Wine inside was very good though. No bottle funk, but I thought the oak was more prominent than the fruit.

This drank even better tonight. Medium ruby color. Sour cherry, tobacco, leather and dried red fruit on the nose. Similar flavors on the palate with a nice mix of fruit and savory, earthy flavors. Medium+ acid, medium tannin and body. Juicy mouthfeel and dry finish. Really dig this and a killer QPR. Wish I had bought more.

Rather funky on opening, but opened up nicely and was wonderful on the second night.
