  Enjoyed at a Chaine des Rotisseurs dinner in Charlotte NC at the Figtree restaurant paired with a course of lobster brioche and grilled corn and paired excellently. Highly recommend, a very good QPR at the average CT cost and drinking superbly well - mature and at peak or maybe slightly past peak - drink not hold. Clear with a slight yellow tint, soft mouth feel, medium bodied, very well integrated, lovely acid and fruit present and a very pleasant medium long aftertaste. Nose of yellow apple, pear and a hint of anise. Flavor profile beautiful with good acidic freshness throughout, a warmer fruitier start with apple, peach and green melon with a more steely minerally finish.

  Day 1: Peaking. White peaches, stone fruit, floral and flint. Balanced and good acidity. Medium plus finish. Outstanding value for around $14 a bottle. 90 points
  Day 3: Still solid but not the vibrant wine from day 1. A little Carmel notes along with floral and flint. The fruit is not as bright and fading. This wine should be consumed now. 85 points
  Recommendation: Drink in 2019!

  Day 1: Floral, minerals, orange peel and apricot. Tasty but not overall complex. This certainly is near peak performance. Solid. 90 points
  Day 3: Should have drank this on day 1.
  Recommendation: Drink now!

  1Day Review: Fresh and vibrant. Lemon, citrus, chalk and wet stones. Medium plus finish and several years left on this one. 90 points
  Day 2 Review: This is still drinking really well. Citrus fruits, lemon oil, spices, wafer and wet stone. Medium plus finish and great acidity. This is a super wine and a great value at the $15 I paid for it. 91 points
  Recommendation: This did not make it to day 3. Too tasty on day 2. Buy this if you can get it at $15 and drink over the next couple years.

  Day 1: Very enjoyable. More formal review on day 2.
  Day 2 Review: Nose of saline, lemon oil, orange peel and spice. On the palate very nice spice, minerals, oranges, lemon oil and saline. Short to medium finish. Picks up a little Carmel 30 seconds later. Very refreshing wine and should hold form for 3 or more years. Will revisit day 3. 91 points
  Day 3: Nose not as intense and palate follows suite. For sure this is not as good as day 2. 87 points
  Recommendation: Should cellar well for 3 years but best enjoyable on day 2.
