February 24, 2006 - No notes, but this wine impressed me again (for the third time). Outstanding QPR (paid $20 NZD). For the price point, this wine shows wonderful richness, and the blend gives it a nice complexity on a smooth, medium-full bodied frame. Nicely balanced too, with no hard edges at all. Nice job in a 'low end' wine in a great vintage by a top NZ producer (B+/A-).
