Very nice & outstanding QPR - straddles Old & New World style with generous blue/black fruit mingled with loamy Earthy leathery funk, some warm spice - very cohesive on palate w/just enough acidity & supple tannins to make this extremely drinkable.

Soft nose but big palate. High tannins. Cedar. Wet rock. Long finish. Needs to breathe.

Bodied but not too strong. It goes well with spicy food.

Going off a memory since I forgot to rate it. I think it was good? I wouldn’t have bothered taking a picture if it wasn’t good. So that’s something, right?
