  Bought Majestic UK £27.99 April 2024
  
  Screw cap. Chilled. No decant.
  13.5% alc.
  
  N…immediate New World kerosene; some nice wet stone minerals; green apple skin
  
  C….solid medium body, straw with a hint of green.
  
  T….ripe fruit but a near-dry style; fruit flavours are focussed, greengages, ripe lime, tart passion fruit; some gentle white tannins, some minerals, there’s enough acid though I can’t say it’s lively, good length, good balance and a touch of elegance too. Very good glass of Clare Valley Riesling. Impressive now at 3 yrs old but clearly had shedloads of potential.
  
  QPR?…..feels worth every penny of its price, in fact more. Definitely buy more of this 2021. Cellar time would probably move it up to score 94 or 95.

  Very pale lemon, almost watery. Nose of lemon and lime rind with a soft palate on entry with a round, creamy note and then the lime fruit comes through with a pronounced chalk and stone minerality on the long finish. Really very good and I'm sure it will be better with time.

  Tsaknakis portfolio tasting (Oinoscent): Tight, tense in the nose, there is an underlying sweet note, high intensity, needs some time to open up
  Palate tight with a few sweet notes, high acidity, rubbery, med body, fresh, quince, yellow apple, pineapple in the long finish

  Lovely, expressive nose of lime pith, mandarin, jasmine and greengage; good weight and refreshing acidity on the palate with just the right amount of dry extract. Pomelo on the finish. Delicious.

  Aromatic nose of lime, lemon zest, hints of mandarin and surprisingly for its age, developing a little kerosene note already. Fresh, crisp and acidic on the palette with more lime and lemon. Well weighted.
