  This was quite Rhone-like, about like a really nice older Gigondas. It still smells and tastes like a young wine, although it is beginning to display a brickish color in the glass. A real find in 2012 for $6 delivered! One more to drink.

  This still outperforms many wines costing >$20. Nothing mind-blowing, just pleasant drinking with simple fare. A great buy at $6, delivered from LB. Three more to drink...

  Medium body medium acidity, cork was beyond dried out... So may have been slightly corked. Honestly a good value.

  Fresh red fruit ,good acid and some spice whats not to like, esp for $6. Hard to beat for the price but drink in 1 day as its doesn't hold well.

  Similar thoughts as my 12/18/12 notes, but consumed with pizza selections at a blind tasting. Excellent QPR at $6!
