Black pepper and black fruits on the nose. Medium bodied with a very black fruit profile of flavors. Nice minerality, still a bit of bitter tannins on the medium long finish. Balanced acidity, one could get very creative with pairing food with this wine.

Nice structure with a good balance of fruit and tannins. It's going to be hard to find a better wine at this price point. Great wine and even better QPR.

This is the first wine I've had that managed to produce a complex array of bitterness. There is an initial assault of sharp bitterness on the palate, followed by an oily like mouth feel on the mid palate, ending with a long lasting dull like bitterness. This wine was like liquid tylenol plus FD&C purple # 6 added to it. The bouquet was enjoyable and the color was striking. If you are an unfortunate soul that has had their tongue cut off, but can otherwise see and smell just fine, this is the wine for you.

Day 2. Deep red, almost black. Pepper, black cherry, nice balance to tannins. Complex. Will buy again.
