Bob McDonald

Funky solids notes on nose. The palate was just medium weight with grapefruit, under ripe stone fruits and plenty of acid reflecting its youth. Would cellar for up to 5 years - not sure how much mid palate fruit would be left by then. Good modest price drinking and great QPR at $21 AUD. Had another bottle 174 weeks later. Has filled out nicely since the previous tasting. Amazing quality for the price. Now rated at 92 points.
