Bought @rossmann drugstore for only 4€. No expectations but a very positive surprise! Ruby-purple, med windows, 13% vol. After some minutes in the glass: ripe cherry, marzipan, figs, oak & Christmas spices on the nose, med intense. The palate shows soft tannins, refreshing med acidity, subtle oak, sweet cherry fruit, spice, nice balance & has a med body. Dry med long finish, vanilla, cherry & marzipan. Tasty! Overall an excellent qpr & a very good wine. Nose 11.5/15, palate 11/15, body&balance; 7/10, finish 7.5/10 (+50) = 87/100p. By the way, this one got 86-88 @WineSpectator. Cheers!

S: lots of earth tones, rich berry T: blueberry and cherry up front, toasty vanilla oak, finishes out with some slight spiciness but not too much to make it hot. A great balance of flavors. I've heard that Portugal was making some good table wines with good QPR. This may be one of them.

Thin, taste like cheap wine, nothing exciting, my last glass went down the drain. Disappointed.
