Dec 2016: Had with seared scallops, toast, salad with chicories and lemon anchovy dressing. So so good. Lean and taught, interesting, a touch of sweetness but no fullness of body. Cuts through.
Summer 2016: Had at Liholiho Yacht Club and thoroughly enjoyed with all fish dishes.

Enjoyed as aperitif, this was the best showing of the wine up to date, these couple of years in the bottle gave some depth and roundness and everyone on the table was easily enjoying it.

Brought to go with oysters, but it was a bit too assertive for that. Bracing acidity, laser focused. Deeper golden color but light on the palate. This wine is wound tight and has good years ahead of it. Very good QPR. Would buy again, but need to think about better pairings given its structure - maybe more in the oily fish zone.

Bracingly crisp. outstanding with oysters. Some pine but more citrus. Palate cleansing. Aperitif style. I am very sad to be down to one more bottle from a case. I hope other vintages are as good!
