This was really good, very surprised at this, great QPR wine and highly recommend. 1 more bottle left. Mature, ready to drink, recommend a short 30-60 minute decant if possible, relatively soft, well balanced and not jammy, unctious or overpowering at all. With proper cellaring this easily has 5-10 years more to go. Long pleasant aftertaste. Big intense nose of dark stone fruit, cherry, a hint of cinnamon and rose petal. Full bodied, good mouth feel and up front balanced oak and dark fruit give way to black pepper, graphite and warm cola with an underlying mint / eucalyptus note that I did not detect on the nose.

This was very good and surprisingly well balanced and bold for its age.

Deep and bold. Plum notes with hints of graphite and oak. A real winner.
