Really impressed here - very good QPR. Lemon, cream, slight richness that doesn’t fall into butter, fantastic mouthfeel. Would buy again and very happy to have another.
N: Slightly closed; Butter melding with apples, poss lemons, earthiness with air/swirling
P: Med, poss MF, body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish oak/frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) met by an acidity which seamlessly evolves into a very LONG, balanced, tangy/SWT finish. For now with food, should improve for 6-12 mos, then drink VERY nicely through '24, poss a bit more. My EXC, + could well be > down the line! [This vendor's NOW $37.95 puts it in the TOP 1/2 of wine-searcher's entries.]
Note: Also tasted on 10/5/19 & 1/4/20, notes fairly consistent.

Pale to medium yellow, lemon, acacia flower and hints of honeysuckle on the nose, round and spicy on the attack with citrus fruit, juicy bright acidity and tart rind flavors, finish is long but a little oily with lemon curd, tropical fruits, some minerality and touches of nut, solid QPR
Citrus and butter. Completely coats the mouth with such a creamy texture. Lovely acidity to balance such a full bodied wine that has a finish that lingers for an age.

Pale lemon color with aromas of lemon and orange rind. Tart lemon with a hint of nut on the finish.
