Qantas Wine latest offering

[DC3]

Husband received a call from Qantas wine about lack of purchases ...

Qantas Wine may have a bit of time on their hands. Seems that I had two missed calls from them today (02 83767687)

 

[jbman]

Got a missed call this week as well. They should leave a messag.....

Yes. They just hang up and don’t leave a message.

I can say that I have not used Qantas Wine since last October.

 

[QF WP]

I’m the same - missed calls both this and last week from QF Wine. People that don’t leave messages don’t get calls back.

 

[Franky]

I’m the same - missed calls both this and last week from QF Wine. People that don’t leave messages don’t get calls back.

For those who encounter missed or odd delivereies, today (a Saturday)I have just received 3 cases in the usual time frame(being in WA) of about 10 days, all as ordered.

Winery is just outside of Denmark in the Great Southern. Not tried the 2017, but have had previous vintages. A fair value wine with some aging potential. This is their entry level Cabernet and pricing seems reasonable.

I got either 2 or 4 in mixed cases earlier this year. Have had one. It was nice, but not outstanding. Probably at the lighter end of "medium-bodied" but that could also be age (and we drank it with a pretty spicy curry from memory). Decent price so worth a punt I reckon, and cellar for a bit.

Thanks! I got 80k of points from an ANZ card recently and just bought 4 the Standish. Considering I won’t be going OS for a while, happy enough to cash in

Great winery - one of the top MR producers. That price is about average.

Tasting notes (palate) on the QFA site is identical to this on the winery site https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2612/9306/files/2018_Lucindale_Cabernet_Sauvignon.pdf?v=1585014034

2018 Lucindale Cabernet Sauvignon

The product of an exceptional vintage, this wine is showing both approachable fruit character now and the potential for cellaring through the presence of mature tannins and good acidity. The DiGiorgio Family Wines Lucindale vineyard produces distinctive minty and eucalypt characters in Cabernet...

I have no idea about this wine, or even the winery. But it might interest someone who has a use for plastic mini wine.

I'm tempted after reading the review on Winefront (95+ score):
"The swagger of it. This is a wine of staggering size and impression. It’s a hulk of tannin and dark curranty fruit with dust, mint, black olive and tobacco notes all wedded to the cause. It’s like a steak in a glass. It’s just – just – starting to mellow but the power and glory of it is still abundantly clear. It’s going to be a long, long termer."

It's a good wine. You wont be disappointed. I think the price is fair. Unlikely to get this much cheaper.

But for me, there's better value elsewhere, unless you really need the QFF points.

I would second this, the wine is very good - I picked up a few of these years back from Langtons for $53.60 ($46+16.5%). At that price point I was very happy.

I can recommend the Whistler Shiraz Cab on sale at the moment. I tried it in a mixed pack and thought it was fair value at the $40/btl rrp so going back for a dozen at $24/btl was a no-brainer.

@Katy Whistler do a good orange wine!
