Drinks at the right price point. Pnp at room temp. Nose: amazingly fragrant - dense, dark berries, graphite, cedar. Texture: Chalky, velvety, solid tannin with long finish. Palate: oregano , thyme, hint of smoke & chocolate. Excellent balance.

Good QPR. Needs to be decanted a little. A tad too harsh on the nose along with some dark berries but the alcohol hits you. Strong Malbec-like chewy tannins. With some time in the bottle, I sense that the structure and the dark berries can be more pronounced and distingished. At the moment, it's on the "great eveyday wine" column.

Not worth the price. Lack balance. Too tart. Tannic.
