We found it once. Drank & really liked it. It was bolder than the Carmenere from CyT; jammier than the Cab, and simply better than both. As a $10-$13 bottle, it rocked.
Would LOVE to have it for guests as an extremely friendly house wine, especially for our upcoming holiday parties, but darn it all, we cannot find it anywhere! Every store has the Cab & Carmenere from CyT Casillero del Diablo, but no one has this Shiraz.
Too bad for us.

Very good! Considering it cost only 5 euro, this was delicious and really worth waiting a couple of years to drink this. Smooth fruit and tannins but with a good tingle, freshness and warm spicy notes. It was my last bottle and In would guess this was at peak, but this vintage is very strong and may last 1-2 years more. Fantastic QPR. Compared it to the 2013 which is unfortunately not as good.

More ripe fruit than the 2011 I had the day before and less spice. Fresher, but less interesting. Probably better to wait 1-2 years, see how this one turns out.

In a very good spot now, forest fruit, spices, smooth tannins. Great QPR.
