Must have drunk this one some time in the recent months without recording it. I recall Dulcie exclaiming her high regard for it and making a mental note to obtain more.

"This is really astringent" exclaimed Dulcie as she helped herself shortly after I had opened it. Indeed, I did not disagree on first sipping, but noted after about an hour a mellowing out. It is indeed quite a meaty wine, of an earthy rustic quality. We had purchased from an interesting English wine retailer who as a love of cabernet franc. For what that is worth. At the price it is very attractive and shone brightly when put beside some insipid fruity Californian concoction.

Really great QPR here. Despite not seeing oak it's quite smooth and has the classic raw-meat kind of characteristic of syrah (80%). Consumed over 3 nights and consistent experience. Definitely going back for more.

Doesn't have enough weight. A little currant. Sweet and tart cherry.
