Bellissimo! Found the ‘14 in the way back of the shelf and for $12 - felt pretty good about it… deep dark ruby w/copper highlight, stunning nose of cherry Jolly Rancher, vanilla, cassis, white pepper & moist Earth. Soft plush velvety on the mid palate, gorgeous, seamless brimming w/pure beam of cherry & raspberry, vanilla and hints of pepper & herbaceousness. Tannins were so finely grained, they blended & melded into the wine beautifully harmonizing with fresh, lively acidity . Bump for QPR
