Pulled on a whim for a 2014 themed tasting. This was fine, with usual varietal character, but I find it a bit lacking in personality. Red fruit, very small hint of rose water. Minimal VA, drying tannins round it out. Day 2 was not significantly different.

excellent wine. tasted side by side with the PdB standard bottling and both were awesome. This one is 2x price though so QPR on the std. bottle is much higher. The reservas are a bit more nuanced but tough to justify the price.

Small sample red fruited and maybe a bit simple fror a reserva. But the tannins were tame and rather easy to drink.
