A very nice QPR that was a delicious accompaniment with clam sauce. A suprisingly complex nose of tobacco and flowers gives way to chalky tannins and sweet red plums laced with chocolate malt. Medium-bodied with an unremarkable finish, this wine was still a hit in its price range.

Opened because of a leaking cork. I'm glad that this wine wasn't ruined. Bought originally on a recommendation from Garnet Wine and Liquor. Elegant, but rich. Leather and espresso. A bit of an alcohol bite on the relatively quick (10 second) finish leads to the feel of a 'hot' wine. It is still a very enjoyable wine!

Another fine QPR showing. Dusty red fruits, saddle leather, floral notes, and that chalky, malty quality. Comes apart a bit on the back end.

Unwinding just a bit from my note of January 2007 to its detriment, but still a solid QPR.

deep red color with leather notes, smooth tannins, medium weight, earthy but balanced, even elegante if that is possible.
