Pours ever so slightly brownish-tinged deep ruby garnet. Blackberry and plum preserves, dusty leather, wet alluvial earth, bit of clove and nutmeg spice, green bell pepper, bit of barnyard-animal brett funk. Medium acid, tannins decently round, gently gripping. Would've liked juuust a bit more body/texture but honestly quite enjoyable, decent QPR for sure. First time I've had a red Bordeaux that is from a more specific appellation than just the general Bordeaux AOC. Will definitely have to explore right bank blends some more.
