WS gave this 93. Not getting that at all. Tannic, overly rustic and just harsh. In its favor, I can confirm it was really inexpensive.

Ruby red in the glass. Medium bodied, fresh with a balance acidity and tannins. Sour cherry and red fruit entice your tongue. Enjoyable on its own or excellent pairing with Spaghetti / Sausages / Meatballs. Surprisingly a great pairing with fresh sardines and green olives.
Go for this excellent value and enjoy.

Not a whole lot going on here. I had high hopes from the aromas that jumped out of the bottle when the cork was popped, but ultimately this was a run of the mill red.

Solid QPR. Not the WS 93-Pointer that the Label touts. Light color and body. Not much on the nose. Bright cherry fruit with a hint of earth and tobacco. A bit hot. Wine is on par with its price point.

Prepping for some Tuscan wine in Italy. Light and juicy. Nice finish and trails off sweet. 14 at rbs
