Good typicity and intensity, good density but not heavy, alcohol in check (13.5%), sweet fruit (blackberries) buffered by freshness and nice tannic grip, lovely peppery touch, primary with completely absorbed oak that adds a certain warmth; good length, hint of liquorice. Excellent basic Shiraz and amazing QPR at € 5.99. Needs a couple of hours in the decanter to unfold.
