Popped and poured. Aroma is limestone right off the bat, along with some grapefruit. The taste is very much a wet stone type of taste, with a good amount of acidity from the citrus on the mid-palate. It finished pretty dry. Very interesting wine that I found quite enjoyable.

Drank six of these over the last couple years. Started in 90 point range, but the last three bottles (all in 2013) were absolutely fantastic as the acid mellowed out. Very full bodied for a white, with nice mellow flavors that I would put somewhere in the sweet melon or maybe pear range. Just very lovely. Had a bottle of the 2011 at a tapas bar, and found it very much on the acid backbone side without the secondary breadth of flavor and mouth feel.

Light color. Notes of honeyed white fruit and apple. The palate follows the bouquet; good underlying acidity.

Opened at Adelle's with CWM and steve8. Similar notes as before, although I did not get any sweetness this time around. This is a great QPR.
