Nicely done, elegant and smooth after 90 minutes in the decanter, but a tiny bit of green still showing throughout. Don't think it's going to get better, but definitely decant and probably drink in next 2-3 years or so...

Opened at Rathbun's Fri night. Best showing of this for me. Full of pure red fruit on the nose and palate. Chery and raspberry dominate. With air some mocha notes on the nose and hints of vanilla on the palate. Nice spice on the chewy finish. Still a bit of a youngster, but drinking nicely.

Wow! Amazing effort first time out of the box. Damn good wine. Didn't decant, but let breathe for about 30 minutes. I look forward to the other two bottles. Probably won't touch until next year. Went down smooth. And at the price, great QPR.

No tannin structure. Just straight juice at this point. Unfortunately though with no tannin structure also a lack of depth.
