light scarlet colour, transparent. nose: very typical - sweet cherries ands other dark fruits, cinamon, quite sharp. taste: apart from custard, vanilla notes quite fresh with good accidity; a little bit opaque finish softened by vanilla ice with fruits flavours. Very mainstream but well done.

Medium red. Tempranillo fruit in teh nose, but not grapey. Hints of light butterscotch (several of us found that) - but it faded after a few minutes or was overwhelmed by other flaovrs. Balanced for a lsightly acidic aproach - so serve with food. A bit of wood in the palate, and some oak touches in the nose as well. Short finish, but commensurate with the overal medium to light body and style. Served with 4 cheese raviolo and basil marinara. It all showed well together. Good QPR at $16 retail. I'd buy more to drink before winter sets in.

One dimensional nose of black cherry, which continues on to the palate and gets a bit biting/astringent (bitter cherry) as it evolves to the attack. Moderate weight. The finish is dominated by alcohol but overall is satisfying while not particularly elegant, complex or sophisticated.

Very pleasant bottle. Nice oaky finish. Not very complex, but very enjoyable.
