Well, glad I kept this for another 6 years to see how it evolved. Cork was in amazing shape. Brick red. Almost tawny in glass. Dried flowers and herbs on the nose. Not a lot of fruit on the nose. Palate is more dried flowers, roses, leather, the faintest touch of pouch tobacco, plums, dried fig, maybe persimmon. It dries the mouth with tannin and acidity. Definitely secondary flavors starting. Probably the best wine deal I’ve ever had for this type of quality. Wish I had one more to try in 2028.

Feb 16th, 2025I gotta say this is hands down the best PQR. Purchased for $9 and no where near peak. Decanted for 30 min and probably could use more time. Super aromatic blackberries and violets. Blackberries, plum, lavender, and leather. Excellent! Have had several vintages and all are great!

Dec 4th, 2020Wow! Decanted for 30 minutes and still very primary. Plum, Black cherry, smoke, and violet. Still fairly tannic and needs more time. Got a steal on this for $9. Highly recommend

Sep 19th, 2019Still tight and very young. Shows great promise after a hour from opening. Traditional nebbiolo flavors. Very good and cant beat for $10.

Color of mix of orange, grapefruit, and ruby, quite light and clear. Nose of concentrated aldehyde, crayon, black pepper, oak, a bit plummy, and hint of strong alcohol. Taste follows the nose, with addition of nice strawberry, ripe grapes, and savory powerful tannins. Aftertaste is long with more black pepper, nice subtle sweetness, long and really savory.
