  Well, I do love a bargain. Got this for a little more than the cost of a hamburger. Decanter gave it a 97. Now I see how Graciano has its serious devotees. Lots of pepper on the finish, and something in the middle that I think is anise and/or tobacco. The acidity is fairly high, but not as much as I would expect from what I’ve read about Graciano. A reasonably long finish, and, amazingly for a wine at this price point, there is nothing offensive or unpleasant in this wine at all. Enough acidity to cut through fatty meats. Would be great with lamb or pork.

  It took a while for it to open up, but when it did it showed some pleasant notes of red berries and earthy spice, ending with a slight sheen of tannins.
  Medium bodied, it held complexity that grew over the course of two glasses. We shall see what tomorrow will bring for the rest of the bottle.
  Note:
  Bottle was decanted, first glass was aerated in the decanter and promptly poured. Second glass was 30 minutes later.
  
  Day 2
  Diminished, unbalanced, and soured. Still drinkable, but it loses three points as a result.
  Note for future bottles: Drink in one sitting.

  I had hopes that this graciano would deliver a lot of bang for $15 and after consuming over two days this weekend, I think the jury is still out. On both days this tasted red fruit dominant and acidic but quite bitter on the backend which makes me wonder if the grapes were not fully ripened before harvest (13.5% ABV). However, day two showed much better flavors including tobacco and cedar. The bitterness was still there though. Too bad because this could be a real QPR stunner. 82 on day one, 86 on day 2 for an average of 84. I will give it another chance at some point since it's so inexpensive.

  Grapes, rustic, simple. Ok for the price.
