Nice QPR, but if you're looking for a modern Super Tuscan, this isn't it. This is more "old world" -- dark fruit and tar with gripping tannins. On day two, much smoother and the fruit is more evident, so I'll give my remaining 2 bottles more time and see what happens.

Really nice bottle for $13, and I think the high scores are influenced by the amazing value, but I don't think this is a 91 or a 92. Dark fruit, a bit of licorice, and gripping tannins (a bit too gripping to lift it above a 90). It may get better over time. I have a few more to test the theory.

This is good wine. No yet smooth enough to be a great wine but that may come yet. Regrettably, I only have one more left. Wish I had bought more.
