This was a nice surprise. Bought at auction, it was clearly well cellared. Definitely mature, but still very fresh and alive. Red berries, peppery spice, cocoa powder, some green bell pepper notes. No need to hold, but will probably keep for another 5 years. Fabulous QPR.

Was like two wines. First one was a horrible, popcorn butter soaked mess. The second once it opened up after about half hour was a great fruity mouthful of cherries, plums and berries. still a bit of vanilla on the finish. decanted could have been an amazing wine. Probably 10 years left in this bottle.

Wow what a nice surprise to a long day of skiing. I have had the bottled since 2001 and cellared it at 57 degrees. Structurally the wine was very balance and the tannins are very supple. The finish is good but not long the fruit seams to dissipate in 10 sec. Nice hints of black current, chocolate, lime zest, vanilla, cassis, and leather.

20 years old and still tastes like a youngster. Lots of black cherry and dark fruits. Soft tannins. Full mouth feel. Enjoyed this!
