I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine Likes this wine: 93 points
August 28, 2021 - Wine Group Picnic at Steve's: PnP from Mag - This was a very nice wine and drinking quite well. I thought it on par with the 2010 Peter Michael Ma Belle Fille, which makes this an excellent QPR! The palate was floral, with honeysuckle the most prevalent, and a hint of sea breeze; the palate was slightly buttery (just enough, IMO) with plenty of citrus, pear, melon and minerality, with a touch of sweet toasted oak. Drinking really well right now out of a Magnum, but .750's should also be drinking quite well, IMO. 93+
