As others have mentioned, an excellent for the price food wine, with eucalyptus and some complexity. It isn't as powerful or full as a Napa Cabernet, but this does the job really well and would be a wonderful weekday pizza wine.

Notes on pop n pour. Very dark purple, 95% opaque with very slow, clear legs. No sediment. The earlier notes of menthol/mint/eucalyptus in the bouquet are still quite present, along with a bit of tea tree oil. However, on the palate, the fruit shows up and fleshes out nicely with bright acidity and light tannins. Definitely not glou-glou as far as Aussie reds go. This has structure and the balance to run long. Might not be a profile that everyone enjoys, but I look forward to my remaining 5 with great interest.

More of a food wine and does better with some air. No particularly memorable taste or smell. Has done fine with pasta, chicken, pork, etc. Imagine will do OK with red meat. Worth the almost single digit price.

Developing well! Pretty big and bold, I'm digging the eucalyptus note, a steal at the price
