Opened this to use in a pasta sauce about 4 days ago. I stuck it in the fridge and forgot it until today. I thought it would be long gone by now, but it's still drinking very well! Light gold in colour, quite nutty on the nose, with some citrus and floral notes as well. Nutty on the medium-bodied palate too, with a hint of oxidation and crispy acidity. Quite rich for a GV, espcially a basic version. Great QPR (B+)!!

Darker gold than expected; nose of lichee, cooked apples, and white grapes (duh!); middle weight palate with canned mandarin orange and bitter grapefruit pith; decent finish has a little more bitterness than i'd like. Pretty good but better a year or two ago.

Apple, mineral, pepper and a hint of petrol. Had a bit of an oily texture and perhaps lacked a bit of acidity. Overall, great value for $12.
