This was absolutely singing. Beautifully expressive nose full of red and dark fruits and a hint of spice. Perfectly balanced wine as is Peter's trademark. Cherry, cassis, currant, blueberry, raspberry and light spice on the palate with just the right amount of oak and medium tannins. Disappeared very quickly!

Nice, red blend. Seems to be at its peak or maybe a little over. Many of the fruit aroma's seem to have gone or are muted. Let it air in the glass for 15 min, it opened up and had some cherry and chocolate on the palate. Didn't find much on the nose, finished with soft tannins. Will drink the other bottle real soon. Don't expect this to get better as a NV.

Very dark ruby. Raspberry, mushroom, and spice nose. Medium to full bodied, crushed pomegranates, pepper, sweet cherries, soft tannins, a touch of heat, dark chocolate, and a medium to long finish. Surprising depth for a kitchen sink blend, and a great value.

Good QPR wine. Went great with pizza. Cherry and vanilla nose, tastes of cherry and raspberry , with a little earthy loam. Medium tannins. Another good wellington.

Did not take a lot of notes. Nose is earthy with some fruit notes. Not very intense. A bit of heat and some acidity. Tannins nicely integrated. Not very complex but overall a decent red table wine. Rated good (81-83).

A bit harsh on the tip of the tongue but improves through to the finish which is a little tart. I would say this is probably the worst of the his last three but is still very much a table wine that will pair well with my foods. It has nice acid, some tart fruit but no major flaws.

I'll stick with Peter welling tons flagship victory which is a better value at $50 than this is at <$10. This smells and tastes like commercial wine. I am not a fan.

Ugh. Almost no flavor, waited too long. Bland, thin, lack of any real flavors.

Not great notes...
Dark cherry, dried fruit, medium body, and soft tannins. I hint of vanilla, but no oakiness and medium acidity.
As others have said, a good value table wine.

It's a good everyday value wine that pairs very well with food. Also, like most of Wellingtons wines, they need some air time to open up.
