  This is a deeply hued wine with dark cherry, almost violet, color. At first the wine is very tight. Fortunately, we had abundant time to wait and savor the first course (Caesar salad and yellowfin crudo) and allow the wine to wake up. By the time the main courses were served the wine presented well with sweet black cherry, licorice, violets and a touch of mocha. The tannins are well integrated but maybe not fully resolved. But there is no reason to hold this much, if any longer. It’s delicious now. Well balanced and excellent with food. Only some very slight sediment. Popped and poured in a casual restaurant without decanter and glasses much too small, but with time the wine opens nicely and presents very well. 13.5% alc. With The Shack is Back (beef) burger and picante (pepperoni and pepper) wood-fired pizza. 03.22.24. Recommended.

  Well integrated but with a sweet fruit note. More polished than rustic. This reads to me as fully mature and in its prime drinking window.

  So refined! Still energetic and on its top where it will be for at least 3 years. No hurry. Great QPR. People who were patient are rewarded.
