Translucent cherry red in color. Sharp, spicy nose with cherries and moist earth. Somewhat rustic on the palate, black cherry and strawberry. Fruit becomes rounder with air and food. Firm tannins (could use 2 years to soften a bit), nice acidity and good balance. Finishes long, bit sharp with dark fruits. I think this needs 2 to 4 years more to develop. Splash decanted right before service but I’d recommend a good hour if you’re going to drink it now.

Think we have missed the window. Uninspiring. Bought from the winery. Poor QPR
