Decanted for an hour. A nice crunchy wine, with excellent red fruit and racy acidity. A really tasty wine that went well with grilled foods!

Nose with earthy, musty, animatic flavour. On palate still fresh, oak, burned flesh. Overall interesting and more complex than you would think given the low price point of 10-15 EUR.

One of the best ~$15 wines I've consumed. Bordeaux-style blend. Varietal line-up changes with the vintage. Consistently excellent QPR.

Ripeness, herbs, spicy, quite round tannins - 89 for today, but will improve with time.Hope I could wait one more year before i open the next bottle..

By the glass at the BA lounge. Not a fresh bottle. Quite a dark red, purple hue colour. Young Bordeaux blend, quite a bit of heat, good ripeness but in check, herby, dark fruits, youthful but approachable and drinks quite well now. Not a pretentious wine and not made with a heavy hand. Not the most complex but a pretty solid 89 and would be happy to have this anyway .
