Fantastic -little shy and took a couple of hours to ILE , but then it unfurled an impressive & complex nose of dark fruit & licorice, vanilla, mocha, freshly turned soil, some brambly and twigs, underbrush. Just really generous, leading to med + body and lush dark fruit on palate. Seamless balance of tannins & acidity, easy drinking yet structured. Some refinement here - didn’t notice any sign of age. Real gem w/solid QPR
