Community Tasting Note

  • ISOPinot Likes this wine: 85 points

    August 20, 2020 - Second of 2 bottles. TN based on 2 days of tasting. Yellow gold, excellent clarity. Rim variation consistent with age; medium to fast legs. Aromas are fruit and white flower dominant: lemon, honeysuckle, green apple, apricot, melon. Definite honey, wax/lanolin, ginger. Hints of slate and granite. By Day 2, ginger, melon, honey, lanolin were gone but pear joined in. By Day 2, finish came to an abrupt ending well before mid-palate. Aromas were intense to the extent that palate was a letdown. Overall impression: varietally correct in some ways, disappointing in others. Good to 2020. At $32 with tax and shipping, QPR is below average. Rated 85 largely due to Day 1. Will avoid future vintages.
