No formal note, this is on the savory side vs being fruit driven, with a big mouthfeel and a nice long finish.

No formal note, PnP, the nose is cherry and a little barnyard funk leading into a well structured affair with excellent balance in the acidity and tannin levels. Medium bodied with a long finish, the silky slightly zippy mouthfeel is excellent . Top shelf QPR here, more will be in my cellar soon.

8/31/2014 3:22:00 PM - Thanks for the info, much appreciated, I have not been to Divino at all, I will check it out this week.The online action has to start for me soon, I have pretty much tapped out the brick and mortar stores in range for all of their more obscure red inventory (haven't even started in on the whites yet), I was at Primo Vino yesterday and found a bottle of oseleta I will be trying next weekend. Thanks again for sharing, online here I come!

8/31/2014 9:12:00 AM - quaffnov, thanks for reaching out. If I understand you correctly, you're asking me to 'enable' you more (not sure your spouse or SO would approve, but here goes), with some shops you may not already be familiar with (local first, online, second) - Mondovino (specialty, geeky shit) - Divino (ditto above) - you're already familiar with Total/Davidsons/Tipsys/AJ (for some everyday drinker type wines, on sale, of course) - Chambers Street (online), browse, drool, buy, repeat - K&L (online) reliable, good pricing, vg selection - BestWinesOnline (ditto above) - WHWC (Woodland Hills Wine Company, ditto above) - Wine House (Los Angeles, ditto above) - HDH (first rate juice, fair prices, great selection) after 15 years of doing this, I'm also quite comfortable in the auction house realms, too, though I'm not a fan of WineBid, at all. happy hunting!
