Bright red no sign of browning. Full of bright mulberry, mint and cassis. Tannin is fine and resolved on a med-long finish. Will do another 9 years in its stride. Great QPR.

A great Cabernet Sauvignon. Purchased 5 years ago at auction for $19. Worth near $100 IMHO. A great Coonawarra red. Deep forest flavours with blackberry grabbing your attention. Low tannins delivering a smooth red. Will develop for another 10 years. Had with some BBQ fillet steak and some pork rissoles made from the mince pork (15% fat) I bought for the Christmas turkey seasoning. Love the fact that I bought over a dozen of these.

Deep forest nose. Lots of red fruit and dark berries. Deep rich black colour. Oak and mulberry with some tight tannins letting the flavours grip. Light acidic aftertaste with a long finish.

No notes; but absolutely delicious in a fruit-forward and entirely pleasurable way. At its peak I'd guess.

Still primary but has settled into itself. Would like to see with some age.
