Hazy notes from last night. Didn't take notes, but I really enjoyed this wine (as usual). it had a very good intensity, thanks to the ripe acidity, and there was also some development and secondary notes of honeysuckle and toast emerging. But this still has years ahead of it. I was glad to see the screwcap, which will ensure no cork taint (as happens in the older cork sealed bottles). Well worth the extra $5 or so they charge here from the normal release wines. Great QPR as always (B+/A-).

Amazing development of the marsanne from cellaring for 7 years compared to what the distributor claims is a similar wine from 2014. One would swear it was Oaked. Enjoyable drink that showcases the best of Victoria.

Absolutely fabulous. Waxy, firm but rich. Heady in its perfume. No oxidation. Seamless.

Light gold colour. Intense nose, white flowers, pineapple, lime and kiwi. Delicious rich flavours and a dry finish.
Great QPR.
