  Double decanted about 12 hrs prior to serving. Deep ruby and medium purple color. Dark cherry, vanilla on the nose. Dark cherry, pepper, vanilla, plum with about 35-38 sec finish. Quite different from the dark and tannic 2015, QPR was not so good this time.

  I now have 2 of these left and like the other comment here, this wine severely undelivers. It's astringent & bitter, can't understand why, aerated into the glass & I'm hoping that my dinner time it's somewhat more palatable to drink. Really Really disappointing

  Enjoyed many a 2016, so felt it might be time to give the first of a couple of bottles I have a try. Was sadly underwhelmed.
  
  Red fruit, tart, with only a very short finish. Let it sit an hour and also tried a small amount through an airator (or is it aerator - I've learned never to try to spell after having a glass or two . . . )
  
  Perhaps it will get better with time, but like the economy right now, I'm not overly optimistic. There's plenty of better 2016 cabs for far better prices out there IMO.
  
  Hope I feel differently about the next bottle

  We’ll see how it progresses … certainly a dense wine but doesn’t taste hot
