Medium purple with garnet. Green with bright red fruit. Palate is green cherry and pepper spice. Moderate to high acid and fine tannins. Long finish. Opened 1 hour prior.

Pnp. Opaque. Holding the glass up to the computer screen as I was typing I could not see anything on the screen the wine was so dark. On opening this is not aromatically generous. Coaxing out flavors of clove, crushed blackberries, smoked cherry wood, and lilac, but nothing really bursts forward. On the palate this has integrated tannin and fading but perceptible acidity. Black currant with pepper when it first hits, but then coasts along with dried herbs, tobacco leaf, and tarragon. A solid finish with the tarragon notes predominant.
Feels as though this is on the wane. Excellent QPR, but will drink my remaining bottle before 2023.
