  Really excellent. Tannins are nice, but not overwhelming.
  
  Earthy notes on the nose and palate, but still carries the red fruit well. Great color- pale to medium garnet.
  
  Great QPR. Wish I bought more.

  Sandro Fay tasting (Home): 13.5% medium-light body, garnet colour with a little fading at the rim, it takes a bit of swirling to get the nose going. dark cherry, something savoury and cedary, or sandalwood. Juicy red fruit fills your mouth cherry and raspberry, very fine tannins, medium-plus finish, medium-plus acidity, very elegant and drinkable now at the table

  Medium garnet. Great nose, with emphasis on orange rind accents (and a touch of campari grapefruit) and then leather, sous bois, cherry, maybe some green peppers; real complex, continuously changing w air. Ethereal, elegant and silky on the palate with nice tannic grip and dense flavors. Another sublime '16 from Sandro Fay.
