  If you just pop and pour this, you might think it isn’t anything very special. But if you wait on it about an hour or so, it just blossoms into something quite nice. The bouquet in particular takes some time to find its stride, but when it does, it delivers a very pretty, fresh and lifted Italian cornucopia of cherry, raspberry, ashy earth, citrus, chocolate, fresh mint and fine honey aromatics. It is medium-bodied in the mouth, with a really fresh yet pleasantly rounded and sappy-textured character. Strawberry and cherry fruit combine with fine citrus notes to make for a very inviting wine to keep coming back to sip after sip. It finishes quite bright and elevated, but very balanced, going down the throat with ease either on its own or with a simple dish of lemon chicken and simple pasta. This is a very fine QPR.
