Mature and oxidized bouquet with vanilla. On the palate nuts, caramel, oak, bruised apple and ok acidity. Overall this bottle is too old by now. No score.

Light amber-gold color. Round and rich nose, pears with honey and cream. Rich palate, honeyed grapefruit, a bit floral, with great balancing acidity leading to a long citrus finish. This has just aged beautifully, fresh and mature at the same time.

This is just a great wine and great QPR. I have tasted several of the 2004's and now just about through a case of the 2006's. This wine ages very nicely, developing depth of flavors but always staying fresh. A steel at under $15. Will be buying additional vintages.

Clear lemon yellow. Initially quite sulphurous but this blew off to reveal grapefruit, nettles and a touch of yeast. Full and creamy with tropical fruit, grapefruit, crunchy green apple and peach. Ripe and concentrated with lovely depth of flavour.

Fresh and yet with a touch of funk. A quaffing sort of wine -- great with spiced shrimp.

Nice, fresh wine with a hint of noble rot. Good complexity, clean finish.

Lovely melon nose, but on the palate this was more like a conventional catty sauvignon, albeit well concentrated and balanced

As exuberant as ever, with that rush of passion fruit, but there's more cattiness than usual

Vigorous passion fruit and melon quality, and the oak adds depth - gorgeous.
