I tasted this during a class and didn't remember it being so heavy on the grapefruit but this evened out over time. I agree the QPR is good and it makes for a very refreshing SB.

Light golden yellow in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of lemons/limes, lychees & gooseberries with overtones of floral notes of honeysuckle, grassiness, minerals, stony/flinty & herbs in the background. Light bodied with a good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, zesty, ripe fruit flavors of lemons/limes, pears & white grapefruit with minerals, herbs & stones. Lingering crisp finish. Drinks quite well at present & appears to be meant for near term consumption.

The wine looks yellow colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like grapefruit and peach blossom. It tastes like grapefruit, pear, lychee and honeysuckle. The body is light/medium. The wine has linear texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.

Simple mais vif et frais, bien fait ce sauvignon, charmeur. Nez sur les agrumes et l`air salin, un peu de gazon aussi. En bouche, c`est ciselé, pamplemousse et citrons avec des notes minérales, assez long.

Pale straw; grapefruits, gooseberries, lychees, roses; off-dry, gooseberry, grapefruit, minerally, light body, citrusy acidity, lingering finish. Good aroma and intensity from start to finish. Some gewurz-like notes.

Light straw yellow colour with a hint of green. Green gooseberries and grapefruit on the nose. Taste of grapefruit. A warmer vintage, perfect with salads or sushi.

Nose - Pretty, balanced fruit. VERY reserved (big schnauza needed)
Palate - Stagnant but hell, at $12/btl I'll drink it XD
