What reviewers say
“Amazing wine in the QPR Hall of Fame for me. Very dark red with a tinge of purple and quite opaque. Nose of black fruit, cedar, and a bit of herbal or light earthiness. Medium high tannins, moderate acidity, very dry, and medium body.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
A beautiful red colour with garnet highlights. An expressive and complex nose, with primary aromas of toast, vanilla and ripe red fruits.After aeration secondary notes of menthol and spice mixed with cedar develop. On the palate, the mouthfeel is rich and silky with elegant tannins. The finish is long, aromatic and delicious, structured and oaky yet always maintaining finesse.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.

- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · France (1,134 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 2,734.
