Cinnamon, oak and fresh cherries on the nose followed by flavors of cherry, plum, more cinnamon spice and finishes with a touch of toasty oak. Overall the flavors taste a little fake and manufactured. ($12)

Schnoz of green herb and alcohol perhaps some plum and spices, pepper drive.
On the palate some very dry dusty bite from the oak some pepper notes quite a bit of heat from the alcohol - a tad too hot. It's nice enough but needs some more fruit in it to be enjoyable. Not balanced enough for me to rate highly.

Very good QPR from this baby. Spice, longish finish, plenty of tannic architecture. Good after a couple days...this one lasted days after unscrewing. Used to cook short ribs too.

Very light bouquet on opening - acidic front with plenty of berry and hints of tabacco, currants and vanilla dominate a musky well formed base. great value .

Not a bad wine for the price, fruits and spice were present but was a little acidic while drinking. Could have used some time decanting.
