Drank this over the course of a week, vacu-vinned and refrigerated; used a bit for cooking. Deep dark red. Very good: black cherries with a black licorice undertone. Excellent value.

Popped and poured. This bottle didn't show much on the nose. A little red cherry and aromas of fresh flowers. Medium bodied with nice black and red cherry fruit profile with some earth and minerality. Good acidity gives this wine nice balance. A little short on the finish with resolved tannins. Was beginning to fade a little about 5 hours after opening. Very nice wine which is still very serviceable and represents excellent QPR.

Still good, but fruit is fading fast. Even after a nice decant it seems tired. Drink up!

Nose of cherries, a bit of vanilla with a very nice well rounded finish. The fruit is fading, but still very present.

Still one bottle of this wine left. Very nice Sangio-based wine. Tasting notes similar to last time. Great QPR.
