Purchased from La Comer Supermarket in Queretaro, Mexico (used for a Lentil Bolognese and drank the rest) - approximately $17 CAD after peso conversion. Medium purple with nice lacing. Dry and earthy with a medium body. Decent at the price point I paid and really complimented the dish I cooked.

Deep red with slightly purple hue, medium legs. Leather, dark plum, slightly tannic, hint of olive. Decent. Nice sipper.

Purchased 2014 (shared by Fiulijn) - unsure if it's actually 2012 vintage, but that's the only one listed on Cellar Tracker.

Nice clear golden colour. Very nice flavour, nose doesn't live up quite as much. Very enjoyable though.

Medium purple, short, thin legs. Nose is mild alcohol, slightly earthy. Taste is a touch of soured berry with subtle earthy notes. Fairly one note, lacking complexity. Wouldn't buy again.

Medium ruby with fast legs. Aroma of black currant, lightly smoked wood, a touch meaty. Fairly dry on the taste with a light-medium body.

$9 bottle in BC. Quality is what you would expect for that price. Low viscosity, clear, pale light blonde. Sweet, but lacking any depth. Slight alcohol burn on the nose. Purchased as a cheap cooking wine, but drank the leftover. Wouldn't bother buying for actual drinking.

Been saving for a tasting for years, but the fiancee didn't know and opened it without my knowledge... so impromtu rating. Deep purple red with medium legs. Dark cherry, dark fig, black currant, gentle earthiness, oak, hint of chocolate and tobacco. Quite nice.
