November 4, 2023 - Nose with earthy, musty, animatic flavour. On palate still fresh, oak, burned flesh. Overall interesting and more complex than you would think given the low price point of 10-15 EUR.

October 12, 2020 - One of the best ~$15 wines I've consumed. Bordeaux-style blend. Varietal line-up changes with the vintage. Consistently excellent QPR.

October 10, 2016 - Ripeness, herbs, spicy, quite round tannins - 89 for today, but will improve with time.Hope I could wait one more year before i open the next bottle..

April 11, 2016 - By the glass at the BA lounge. Not a fresh bottle.
Quite a dark red, purple hue colour. Young Bordeaux blend, quite a bit of heat, good ripeness but in check, herby, dark fruits, youthful but approachable and drinks quite well now. Not a pretentious wine and not made with a heavy hand. Not the most complex but a pretty solid 89 and would be happy to have this anyway .1 person found this helpful Comment
