Great QPR for this everyday drinker. It’s not going to knock your socks off, but it exhibits all of the classic characteristics of a solid left bank bordeaux (savory coupled with pure fruit, earth, perfect balance, and a touch of bitterness). The nose starts off rather fruit forward, but with an hour and a half of air dried floral potpourri, tobacco, and earth start to peak through. The palette is consistent with the nose, I was pleasantly surprised with the lift and acidity in this one, I get cranberry and just barely ripe red fruit. There’s a touch of earth and some bitterness as well. Good balance, medium body, and approachable now.

Definitely tastes like a left bank Bordeaux. For mid teens price a good anytime wine. Good fruit leather tar menthol. Plenty of tannins. Not to acidic who knows like. Steph also likes so a plus.

Fruit forward, touch of vanilla, leather, overall light and shallow flavors. For similar price there are more interesting Haut Medoc wines out there in my opinion

Cherries, plum, and just a hint of licorice. Rather fruit-forward.
