  One-hour decant through a screened and aerating funnel; no sediment. Wine emitted a blackberry fragrance. After resting, wine was clear; dark-colored, no lightening towards the rim. Nose was deep dark fruit, flowers and some spice. As with the 2015 I tasted 18 months ago, the nose was reminiscent of a fully mature Beaujolais (this time a Regnie) from a great year and a top-notch producer. In the mouth, the wine's flavors exceeded the promise of the nose. Again the wine's weight and texture was akin to that of a decent northern Rhone. Black raspberries, all sorts of spices, some toast and a bit of minerality on the medium finish. Nice balance and I believe this wine has several years of good drinking ahead of it. Great QPR ($22/bottle).

  50/50 Vranec/Plavec. Intense deep ruby. Velvety full body, tangy black fruit with spice notes. Pretty heady alcohol, noticeable 14.5%. Great value.
