Tasting Note:
Supposedly tried this on day five. And boy were we impressed. Garnet red color. Pure South African nose. Was initially a little dirty, with bell peppers and lots of chalk. Moderate tannins (5/10) with a moderate body that was starting to thin a little as time passed. Hints of black cherries and slightly savory near the end as well. Slightly dry and moderate finish. Amazing QPR wine! A great wine for an everyday drinker, will not disappoint.
