Always a great QPR buy direct from the source. Showing well tonight with minimal decant.

Tight as a nuns butthole. Oak dominated. Deep & dark blue & black fruit with smoke. Decanted 1 hour and was just starting to open. I'm finding these need around 5-10yrs to strut their stuff.

Rich, dense, dark fruit with baking spices; solid and a great value

A tad backward, disjointed. Structure is there but I was just confused by the lack of integration. Have had the ‘09 and it was so much better.

Haven't had one of these in a long time. Not as bad as I was expecting, I guess that's good?

Great with rich dishes! A bit dry by itself. Great structure and layers.

Powerful nose with notes of rubbing alcohol, sweet ripe cherries, vanilla. Light in the mouth, more cherries, mint, with medium+ tannins and alcohol, cinnamon, long finish. Very nice blend with plenty of life left.

Really nice with some flat iron coated in salt, pepper, and Rosemary. Got some nice fruit and a hint of vanilla when paired with the steak. Still a little young but fantastic with food.

Can't say enough about the QPR and young accessibility of the CVRs.
