QPR is through the roof for this wine! It tastes and smells like Burgundy. FOR $10!!! Better than most entry level $30 Burgs. I really don't think more needs saying. I would run out and buy all you can before the masses realize it.

Tasted blind, there was little question it was Rayas. Incredible typicity. Not the finest example from this estate, but, still an absolute pleasure to drink for anyone who enjoys an exotic Burgundian style of CDP. Don't think this will improve, but, should provide much pleasure over the next 5-10 years.

Young but open and ready for business. Pure delight to drink at the price point.
