Heard so much about this $8 bottle, had to go out and pick a few up...
Splash decanted 40 minutes prior to tasting. Nose of blackberry, blueberry, plum and a little rubbing alcohol. Otherwise a definite nose of a serious Fruit bomb. Fruit actually tamed a bit after further aeration.
Smooth mouthfeel, more of same fruit, with more plum. Surprisingly long finish for a bottle of this price range. balanced but definitely firm tannins, just a little hot - but no more than would be expected from a 15% alcohol wine.
Unquestionably great QPR, at & 7.88 a bottle...
