Similar to last note. This time well aerated so did not need to wait. Lots of life left, still fresh with some forest floor notes and fresh acidity. Dry with soft tannins and long finish.

Dark fruits, dry, full body with some earthy funk that mostly tones down over an hour. Licorice and vegetal notes. Fairly smooth and old world style. Hard to distinguish from a mid level chateauneuf du pape. Better with food.

An incredible bargain at $16. Will need to buy more quick. This was really great after an hour and a half of being opened (though not decanted). Stock up and drink now.

Bursting with interesting scents of bright fruit, forest floor,spices, leather, and more. A very smooth drinker with a long finish. I wish I had more of this as it was a great QPR at $15 in mid '08.
