Very sexy, luscious blackberry and plum with a rich floral and spice nose. Wears its 14.5% abv well (no appreciable heat), despite ripeness trending almost toward the stewed end of the spectrum. Oak has integrated and is not obtrusive.
If you want a voluptuous wine, then this will please. Still have three quarters of the bottle left to try later. Paired with meat ravioli. The palate became somewhat tiring because of the pronounced jamminess in lieu of acidity. Reminded me of some California Rhone style wines that are so alluring but wear thin from an interest level before the end of the meal.
Overall, this wine is worth trying. Pretty good QPR.
