  Rather spectacular really. I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. Acid has completely settled and the fruit has softened with the Merlot really adding to the blend. It will be good for a while still but this was my last bottle. Equal to anything 3 times the price since it was bought on special for around $15.

  Mint and eucalyptus typical of Aussie cabs. Drinking well.

  This is great QPR even at retail prices. 2012 label but describes a 2013 vintage? Maybe a printing error. Regional nose, just working off some puppy fat. Lots to like here with pomegranate and licorice wrapped in good chalky tannins. Very good, drink now to 2021.

  Last bottle which is a real shame for me, it is drinking so well. Still quite youthful in colour, nose starting to get some drier berry notes; soft on the palate, plenty of fruit with tannins and acid in balance. Very good wine for the price.

  Has definitely improved over the last three years but is still quite youthful. Incredibly solid offering at the price point.
