Brick red and earthy. Not as tightly wound as the last bottle. Seems to be coming into its own nicely. Touch of characteristic QC spiciness plus dark fruit and a little dark chocolate. Long finish. Careful for just a touch of sediment, too.

The nose is blue and black fruit, and wood. The mouth is red and black fruit, plum and cassis, chocolate, and light mineral. Developed fine tannins with medium acidity and a long rich finish. The wine is a good drinking window.

Not very focused flavors, and a bit oaky.
