Took a while to open up. First 1/2 drunk with lamb chops, fiddlehead ferns. The wine tasted leathery, not very fruity. The next day, drank the rest with seared pepper-crusted tuna, and it was great.

A nice value offering with some grip and tannin as well as bramble and a bit of spice in the fruit. Primarily dark fruit throughout without much ripeness at all. Although I drank it on its own, I believe this is a good food wine- pasta with Bolognese sauce comes to mind. Some nice floral aromas on the nose as well. Great wine for a brisk Fall night.

Had this later in the evening and enjoyed the spice infused, lavender and potpourri notes. Heady ripe fruit that is inviting, but was a bit of a velvet hammer. Mouth-filling and palate coating, without being too heavy. Great QPR.

Started out a bit restrained and with blackberry and brush notes. Fruit was muted. After time in the bottle though it softened and began to show interesting flavors of spice, lavender, floral and bramble. Opened up nicely and was very enjoyable. Excellent QPR.
