This is a good QPR PN. I paid $12 for it. At first it threw off a barnyard, leather aroma. I knew with a little time this would blow off. Started drinking it about 30 minutes after opening with a former co-worker and his wife. I must say that each glass was better than the previous. Because of this I will decant for 1 hour next time before consuming. The primary flavors of strawberry and fresh cherries were mildly elegent and pleasant. I think this will drink well for the next 2-3 years. I would rate 87 pts. For $12 it is a good everyday PN. I will definitely decant for 1 hour next time.

Life without wine?...... Yeah Right.<br /><br />I believe we have 2 lives; the life we learn with and the life we live with after that.
