  Very nice but rather one dimensional and monolithic well aged entry level Aussie cab - in a great drinking window now and do not look for this to improve - plan on drinking the remaining bottle soon paired with steak or lamb. Paired very well with pepper steak tonight but too big and not soft / complex enough to be a true sipping wine on it's own. Good QPR wine at just over $ 20 / bottle. Very dark, full bodied and with a long lingering aftertaste, reasonably well balanced. Nose big, delicious and fruit forward with dark fruit and a hint of eucalyptus which was actually more pronounced on the palate. Primary flavors included eucalyptus / mint on the late palate and dark fruit, cherry and a hint of oak up front. Decanted for over an hour and definitely needed that. I would recommend drinking up any holdings soon and pairing it with big meat. I do NOT think, as RP apparently does, that this stands up in any way to a $ 75 - 100 CA / Napa cab.

  Not nearly as good as prior bottles. Sort of sour, flabbly, with a short finish. What happened? No sign of being corked, just not nearly as good as prior bottles.

  Opaque purple. Blueberry cotton candy. Dense fruit. Not as refined as expected. If Parker thinks this wine can stand with a $75-100 Napa cab, then it's more proof that Napa cabs are over-priced, rather than that this Kilikanoon is an amazing value...IMHO ;-)

  Decanted for half an hour, this juicy red tasted like a $20-$30 bottle. Very excellent value. Unfortunately, I could not finish it all the first night and it didn't hold up well for the next day, leaving me with overwhelming sour tones.
