  Great QPR, plenty aromatic and flavor intensity, highly complex, great balance of fruit and structure, Long finish. Enjoyed with beef fajitas and grilled vegetables. Underrated by the community score. Potential to cellar for another 3-5+ years. Very good.

  Ooh, hey now, this is really nice now as it reaches its 10th birthday and I have opened my final bottle. Calmed down and starting to get some secondary notes of bitter chocolate and tobacco. Still big round and boozy. With assorted empanadas on a warm Friday night... spot on. I dont see this improving.
  Massive 2am headache that I can't blame specifically on this wine, but it most certainly played a role!

  Based on the most recent reviews I was concerned... Our experience found a quite lively mature bottle. It's an integrated whole, juicy ripe red fruits, leather, silky tannin. No complaints here.

  pretty much the same wine as it was in 2016, perhaps with some slight mellowing. this remains big, loud, boozy, and hedonistic. a bit much for a weeknight...

  I continued to feel that this wine is no where ready to drink at this point in its development. Raw and powerful, will this turn into something graceful or is this how "its supposed to be", a rough tough mouthful of wine.
  
  If you want this particular experience then its OK. Could use a little more balance but then its OK. Needs many hours of decanting but then its OK. I guess not my style but then its OK.
  
  OK?
