  Made a Vietnamese style long braised beef calf with cinnamon, kencur, burnt ginger and burnt shallots; add rice noodles and this is Pho. Needed something rustic.
  Bright transparent ruby red. Poured out one small glass to increase surface area in bottle to breathe. Decanted after an hour. The initial glass, drank straight away, was unfriendly, tannic and tart.
  The decanted wine was a totally diferent beast. Much softer, with warm red fruits and sweet jujube, it wasn't overly complex, yet quite mouth filling. A juicy style of wine, don't know what happens if given a few more years of bottle age. I quite enjoy the juiciness now. And the QPR is excellent.
