Last bottle of 6. Same lovely fruit profile of sweet stone fruit and citrus zest, with honeysuckle and tangy-sherbet minerality adding complexity. There's also some animal funk, which wasn't unpleasant, and blew off after an hour or so. Left a glass in the bottle overnight which was better the next day, suggesting plenty of life left. Great QPR.

Very reductive on first day so difficult to get much of an impression of the nose. On the palate was broad and sweet, almost botrytis sweetness, quite thick, apricot. Sharpening up towards the finish as the acid kicks in with refreshing apple flavours. Finish medium to long. Sweetness made this a little one dimensional. Left half bottle for day 2 and improved slightly, crisp acidity still there but the sweetness was more in balance with the rest of the wine. Liked this and see it getting better.

Fresh, fruit driven, sweet honey. Very quaffable. Would have liked more definition.

Fruit salad, hint of petrol emerging, not very long, deep or complex. But really enjoyable, sappy, bright and fresh, well-balanced.
