Deep ruby color. Aromas of dark cherry, plums, raspberries, licorice, spices, coffee, vanilla. High acidity, ripe fruit, firm tannins. Full body. Modern and easy going.

Excellent balance of acidity. Plenty of fruit and rich body. Slight tannin structure was approachable but still was able to add a pleasant strength to the mouthfeel. This paired very well with a hearty lasagna.

Great up front. Dry, bright red and purple fruit balanced by nice minerality (per WE) with some darker notes and smooth tannins. Great balance. Zippy midpalate and lingering finish with red-purple fruit and balanced tannins. Solid.

Opened yesterday and left in the fridge overnight. Quite deep blueish purple colour. Nose of blueberries, blackberries, graphite, spice and cocoa. Medium-full bodied, zingy acidity, high fine tannins, fresh dark fruit extract, grippy finish. Blue and black fruits on the palate, chalky minerals, light beechnut, splintery oak and black tea. Finishes very dry and quite long. Nicely balanced and good quality, albeit in a very young package. Great QPR IMO. Probably much better than my last note due to the aeration time given thia bottle. Solid 90 points

Day one is an 89. In day two fills out to a 90. Has aromas of earth, terracotta, plums and black raspberries. Its medium bodied solid plush palate has nice minerality, freshness and good oak. Ends mediumish, fresh and a bit dry. 13.5%. Needs a couple of hours aeration. Can be enjoyed now or laid down 2-5 years.

A bright red colour; fresh, red cherry and redcurrant fruit, slightly savoury and with a firm structure. Good now but will keep and should improve further.

Think I drank it slightly too early by a year or two… but it was delightful .. great with food.. high acidity works well with a dinner… red cherry, red plum, raspberry, black cherry black plum, blackberry, Italian herbs, spices, oak, vanilla, tobacco… medium tannins… medium + intensity.. and medium + finish.. have it with food for sure… it brings it out beautifully and yes maybe wait a couple years for more complexity… very very good right now.

Disappointing; little character even after giving it plenty of time to open up. Much better inexpensive Tuscan blends are available for less, such as Banfi Centine or Frescobaldi Remole.

Pnp. Nice, youthful plummy purple colour. Very young, yeasty nose that includes aromas of purple fruits, chalky minerals, dried stalky herbs and some bittersweet chocolate. Medium bodied, crunchy fruit, low tannins, very dry finish. Palate largely follows the nose. Purple fruits, minerals, some splintery oak and an astringent finish from the tannins. Very primary and mainly composed of raw materials right now. Needs food to mellow it out. Will be a decent quaff with another year or two in the bottle.

A dark colour with a touch of purple; fresh, lively, dark cherry fruit, perhaps a little rough at the moment, but this should go with time. Young still, but approachable, and good for 5 years or so.

Color: Medium to deep ruby. Nose: Red berries. A bit wishy-washy. Mouth: Fresh. Slightly drying tannins. Medium bodied. Very good expressiveness and length. It is getting better while breathing. Don't drink too warm! Cherries and pomegranate, too.

A very pleasant, modern Italian wine, with cherry/blackberry fruit, a harmonious palate, medium weight and a well rounded finish.

This has medium weight, pure, elegant fruit and a rounded finish. It was a good match for the pasta bake with ham.
