Well balanced with good after taste. Enjoyable!

overly sweet and tannins seem high

Drank on BA flight. Would agree with the others' scoring and notes a nice fruity and somewhat ethereal wine but not in the same league as top ones like Purple Angel (if you like that sort of style).

A bit of a bite blackberry leather on the tongue. Bouquet of cheeries and musk nice wine for the price

Shockingly good for the price. The 92 is bringing that into play

Soft but nicely balanced wine, easy drinking without feeling in any ways cheap.

Medium plus nose shows green pepper, blackberry, dried plum, anise, sour earth, baking spice. Palate is sweet and spicy, blackberry, cinnamon, bell pepper, anise almost like a black taffy, medium tannins are smooth, medium body is actually a little lighter than expected. Nice quaffable style, very good QPR.

Great fruit in bouquet, soft on the tongue, initial fruit that fades fast, slightly sour finish. Not too hard on alcohol.

Retail $11. Peppery and spicy with loads of fruit, smokiness, and just a touch of greenness. Refined but also rustic, which is a wonderful contradiction. Very rich and even syrupy, this is a real fruit salad of a wine, even a fruit cake, as there is a certain perceived sweetness with all that fruit. 90K cases. Big. Shiraz-like (winemaker is an Aussie). Very Good. 87-89 Points. www.thedrunkencyclist.com

Ripe and curranty nose and flavours. Well balanced, flavourful finish. 3/5
