Bought a library case from Paul over dinner last year, almost on a dare. 2nd bottle into the case and I'm so happy to have 10 more. This is drinking amazingly well right now. Lots of sediment, so let it stand for a day or 2. Decanted for an hour. Ruby color without a hint of oxidation. Spectacular nose with dusty cherry, strawberry, leather and plum. Finish is decent although lighter than the nose would imply, but still some acid structure, and the slightest hint of tannins. Amazing QPR

Deep ruby purple in the glass. Abundant nose of cassis, rhubarb, and light graphite. Fruit forward, full-bodied palate echoes the nose with medium acidity and medium plus, dusty tannins. Long, dark red finish wraps it all up. An excellent match for my cowboy rubbed porterhouse, and the perfect subject to test out my new Repour stoppers. It’s great now. I’ll be back over the course of the week to see how it fares. IF I don’t finish it all tonight!

This cab has held up well. Still deep purple to the edge, no signs of oxidation. Nose has faded a bit, but still a nice earthy blend of fruit and forest floor. Flavor is soft. Nice balance of dark fruit and very soft tannins. Last bottle of this $20 sale purchase back in 2007 - so good bye (buy) to a great QPR wine.

Very nice, deep rich nose, balanced acidity (held up to grilled lamb chops), soft tannins , medium finish.
