Still nicely dark ruby. Muted but harmonious aromas of evergreen forrest, damp earth, some vanilla and oak and plums. Super mellow body. Tired but not dead although certainly was better 5 or 10 years ago. Harmonious and well made but not resonant.

Happy surprise. So much better than we expected. Dark cherry color. No old nose, lovely mouth feel- not dusty. Back to opening comment - lovely surprise. Last bottle

My last bottle of this QPR king drank with left over spaghetti. This wine was delicious and still has years ahead of it. At $35 per a ridiculous QPR. Dark fruits, licorice, earth and spiciness. Complex with loads of nuance. Loved it. Wish I had more. Drink or hold.

Nose dominated by dark plum, pencil shavings and oak. Fruit needs more time to evolve and mellow. A touch of spice on the finish from alcohol ( 14.2%). Concord grape, sweet blackberry fruit - smell some cactus and ???

Dark chocolate violet color
Full bouquet
Soft smooth tanins. Full cherry dark fruit. Long finish. Way better than the short ribs in Barolo reduction that I ate it with.
my first time from that vineyard and Makes me want to get newer vintages of it
