Great wine - notes of prune white pepper and cigar. Medium bodied savoury palate in the northern Rhone style. Very good QPR at $21. Winner of the 2012 Jimmy Watson Trophy at Royal Melbourne for Best One Year old red.

A challenging vintage in Oz except for the Hunter Valley and WA with plenty of rain around harvest. However this wine won one of the most coveted trophies on the Oz Show Circuit - the Jimmy Watson trophy for Best one year old dry red at the Melbourne RNA. Very Northern Rhone with white pepper and spice. Like a junior Mt Langhi or a Craiglee. Enough mid palate fruit for the complete package. 17.5. Tasted a 2nd bottle 7/9/15. Tasting notes as above. I love this style of wine.

A really attractive, beautifully balanced, smooth and seamless wine. Jimmy Watson trophy winner from a vintage where none of the Bests flagship wines where made leaving the Bin 1 as the beneficiary of all of the old vine fruit.
