Drank in vertical witrh 04 05 QB. Nice depth and complexity. A bit lighter still than 05 but very nice wine. Was impressed by all of these <$20 wines holding up 6-8 years past vinetage.

At first, even after an hour of decanting, this seemed like a flat, hot wine, with barely any fruit; so unlike the other years of Quarry Butte I've enjoyed. I was worried I'd left it in the bottle too long. But after another 30-60 minutes out, it started to come alive. Brief pomegranate and dust up front, with black cherry and earth right behind. Worked well with oilier/fattier foods than the lean beef I initially paired it with.

Somewhat fruit deprived, good mineral undertones.
