Ran through a vinturi, the nose is vegetal with cough syrup cherry. The palate is much the same same with grippy tannins and biting acidity. This did not taste like a cab but more like a carmenere, I did not enjoy this one much.

Deep red-purple. Tons of fruit (purple and red berry, plum) on the nose even after 3 hours. Fair amount of tannins noticed first on tasting. Fruit more restrained on the palate where leather, earth, mineral join in. Finish medium and less intriguing. This gives it a sophistication difficult to find at this price point. Bordeaux like. Could fool some. Nicely done. Great QPR.

Fruity/cherry nose. Tannins are and firm. Finish is quick and elegant. Not a lot of complexity but the fruit is solid throughout. Amazing value for the quality.

Actually, pretty nice. No formal notes, PnP. Blue/black fruit, pepper, med-heavy body, seamless.
