This has softened quite a bit since I last had it, with the sharpness on the finish gone. Excellent summer wine, lighter than most Rhone whites I've had but with similar flavors.

Dynowine's notes are spot on, and I have little to add. There's a sharpness at the finish of this wine...if it softens over the next 12 months or so, this wine would crack 90 points for me.

Tested from a preservation machine. This is a lighter white that would be enjoyable by the more tame drinker. Nose of notes and hints of sour fruit, banana, and slightly sweet green flower buds. In the mouth light but firm slightly sour white fruit (kumquat, faint banana, hints of lemon-lime) with a touch of glycerin slickness and a bit of dirty mineral. Finishes short to medium length fading of elements from mouth. Dryish. Body medium minus, acid medium minus. Grenache blanc, grenache gris, macabeo. Pretty good QPR as tested, USD 12.
