Kinda blocky and four square. Average.

Secondary cherry aromas, medium to strong tannins.

Deep, dark reddish-purple in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty, minerals, spices & herbal notes & hint of cedar in the background. Medium-full bodied with a good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with spices, herbs, minerals & some oak/vanilla. Lingering dry finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop …

Nose of red cherry and black cherry, hint of barnyard, same on the palate, medium/big body, tasty, touch simple, juicy fruit, rich fruit, touch simple, fruit forward, good acid, better if aged a year, and a medium finish.

Nose has a blend of dark and red fruits: blackberry, raspberry, cherry and blueberry. Nose of vanilla and chocolate with a bit of a gamey note. Acid hits hard early then fades and grip comes late. Palate is mixed red and black fruit with dark chocolate and oak. Short finish

Big and jammy, with some fig and black fruits. Very one-dimensional, lacking in the complexity I was hoping for given the reviews. Still, pleasant to drink.

Nose: fig, oak Taste: jammy, dark fruit, dry with light tannins, finish with fig. We like this a great value.

Medium body, fruity, round.

I didn't take any notes, but this is the second time I had this wine and it made a much bigger impression. I remember big body and rich dark fruits. Will definitely be grabbing a couple more.

Great QPR. Good depth.

Interesting wine. Lots of dark fruits but with a lot of earthy/savory characteristics. Fair amount of structure. If you’re holding on to it I feel like it’s best days are ahead.

Very dark fruited Syrah. Dark fruited - not savory though. A bit full bored on the palate, and becomes more savory there.

Meh

Very nice! Nice blend of syrah and grenache, with what i feel are the syrah flavors dominating (and that's fine by me) with blackberry, raspberry, blueberry and some light cherry all nicely weaving around. Very smooth as well. Doesn't seem to be engineered for long term storage so i would say drink now. But quite lovely right now it is!

Has some tannin and some powerful back bone.
