Served by the glass. Softer than Malakoff which does not mean that it lacks concentration and structure. More black fruit and firm tannins but without so much presence of wood at least.
Servido por copas. Más suave que el Malakoff lo que no quiere decir que carezca de concentración y de estructura. Más fruta negra y firmes taninos pero sin tanta presencia de la madera por lo menos.

APPEARANCE This wine is clear, medium ruby. NOSE The nose is clean and of medium intensity. Primary characteristics of blackcurrant, asparagus, black pepper, and liquorice as well as a secondary note of smoke are noticeable. This wine is developing. PALATE This is a dry wine with medium plus acidity, medium tannin, and high alcohol. The body is medium and flavor intensity is also medium. Primary flavors of black plum, tomato leaf, and eucalyptus are strongest in addition to some of the flavors noted on the nose. Finish is medium plus in length. On an interesting point, the palate was far more enjoyable than the nose on this wine. The nose was borderline unpleasant. CONCLUSIONS Good, Can drink now, but has potential for ageing
Revision after a day open: not very pleasant. Drinks about its price. Fruit muted.

Wonderful QPR. The online descriptions I read about notes of black tea, strawberries, and lavender were definitely present here, and well balanced with earthy tones. Didn't quite catch the cumin in the description. But still, a very enjoyable every day drinker.
