This continues to shine after opening up, which, surprisingly, takes a couple of days. A delicious smoky note lends depth to the clean, rich fruit. So good I went out and got more. Really good QPR and on peak, now, and for another 5 years I'd guess.

This has grown in stature, and must be coming out of a bit of a closed phase, as this was singing after being opened and drinking half the bottle four nights previously. Clean, balanced, elegant, nicely smokey citrus notes on the medium finish. Good mid palate. Not notable in any way, but on peak and really quite good for its price point.
This wine has been another lesson in the dumb phase of wines in general, and how it appears in many wines that seem to be headed downhill, but are actually hibernating.

Nice nose on opening - creamy, ripe, rich citrus. Almost Chablis-like. Flat and neutral on the palate however, with not much specific character, depth, mid-palate or finish. Easy quaffer. As I review my previous notes, this is on the way down, and fast.
