Was really surprised when I tasted this yesterday and ended up buying a couple of bottles. Very prominent nose of red currant, rolled tobacco leaf and mint with a slight whiff of cedar. Very Bordeaux-esque; like a cross between a right bank Merlot and a young St Julien. On the palate is a combination of red fruit, plum skin, and a pleasant peppery savoriness. Very good QPR at $30 a bottle. Heard this is the last batch from this vineyard as the old vines are being ripped out and replanted. Get as much as you can. It's worth it.
