Community Tasting Notes 5

December 2, 2022 - A lovely light brioche and buttered toast aroma with a hint of sweet yellow peach. Intense on the palate, the wine shows bright clarity of flavor, with apricot, dried nectarine, papaya, and meebos coming through. Despite some development, the wine is still juicy and fleshy at 13 years old, making it both approachable and delicious.

April 1, 2016 - My last bottle of what has been a delightful half case over the years. Still drinking nicely.

December 28, 2014 - interesting comparison with the recently tasted 2013. As you might expect this has a little extra weight and complexity in the mouth whilst retaining a very harmonious elegance. Excellent QPR.

December 2, 2010 - Golden and yellow. To the nose it has fat notes and exotic fruits – kiwis and passionfruit. In the mouth it is friendly, sweet and fat with good layers of oak. Strong notes of exotic fruits. Rater harmless but with the quality that you always just want another sip…
