Beautiful ruby color, medium legs. Powerful nose of plums and blackberries, with vanilla and oak and pout pourry. Medium acidity, medium tannins. the palate shows beautifully after 1 hour decanting with dark cherries, blackberries, plums, menthol notes, tobacco leaves, ands forest floor. The ending shows black peppery notes and quiant hints of oak. While this wine still feel young, it's already very enjoyable - even more so with a short decant. I think this will peak in 2-3 years, but if you match it with some hearty food I don't see why you should wait to pop a bottle now. Very good QPR.

Every bottle has been superb, and this one is the same. Lovely fruit profile both bright and darker fruit. Excellent length. My last one--but for the holiday meal it was a great choice!

Aged superbly with just a hint of tannins but very complex. Big red fruit on the nose with smoke and toast. Luxurious texture with a long, long finish. Black cherry preserves, cassis and black fruit at the end.

Drinking well, with life left. And “well” is a huge understatement.
