nose: dirty plum, blueberry, and a bit of fig and alcohol
palate: juicy, sweet but tangy plum and bramble. mocha and some soft woody tannins on the short-ish finish.
pretty balanced for a cheap bottle. very enjoyable in its simplicity.
note: the entire first day after opening [and at room temp] it was rather unpleasant of cooked plums and very cloying. the notes are of the second day [slightly chilled] after the unpeasantness somehow totally blew over and revealed a very nice wine

Good QPR. Unmistakably Austrailian Shiraz but more complex and balanced than most at the price point. Pleasant nose. Nice fruit, good acidity with some tobacco notes. Very smooth finish.

Pleasantly surprised with the wonderful punch of the plum and berry flavors of this Shiraz. Enjoyable and great value.
