Solid expression, dark, earthy aromas. A little sweet char, but not smoke. Very solid palate, does have some eucalyptus buried in the background. Such a nuanced note that it adds to the quality in added complexity.

Hour and a half decant, opaque purple in the glass, the nose is dark cherry, pomegranate, forest floor. The palate is more cherry, earthy, slightly oaky, with fresh acidity and quiet tannins with a medium mouthfeel and finish. Definitely a slightly different spin out of this varietal coming from this region of the world.

Opens up to lots of fruit aromas, sweet red cherry fruit. Doesn't show any green Aussie notes, but that could all be underneath the re fruit profile this is tonight.

A passable drink with some fruit left, a bit gamey and decent mouthfeel. Some structure and tannin left but past its best. Bit meh.

Nose: current, raspberry, herbs
Taste: current and a hint of raisins, this continues to be a great QPR
