I think this wine cost like £12 or something, so for pure QPR it’s a belter. Very Italian despite the lead! I enjoyed nailing this after a journey home from Switzerland where I drank overpriced crap in a ski resort. Nothing that taxing the gods of wine here, but plenty to relax with after a Geneva airport slog.
Black currants, toasted wood, pencil lead, hints of leather and earth. A bit subdued by comparison with the last bottle 6 months ago, maybe entered a dumb phase? Still has good balance and great finish.

Delicious, still fruity but with interesting aromatics coming through. Pencil lead, violets, blackberries and cassis. Rich, balanced with full soft body. Fine tannins and good finish.

Pencil lead, plums, berries. Velvety smooth tannins with long slightly salty finish. Med to full bodied. Decanted and aerated. Drinking well now, but will keep for years.
