Nose of petrol, lemon zest, peach pit and honeydew melon. There's a flatness about the palate that is almost more tannic than flabby. If I had to guess I would say these grapes were over-pressed and/or left to soak on the skins for too long. The nose is fairly intriguing but the palate is a bit of a let down. Definitely a drink now wine.

Nice nose. Solid fruit flavors. Dry, round & rich, but with a somewhat bitter secondary flavor that lingers on the finish and hurts the overall balance and drinkability of the wine. Better with food than on its own.

Color straw with bright yellow touches, medium body, clear. Nose of honeyed pear, dried pineapple, minerals, powder. Smooth and lush pineapple and lemon on entry, transitioning to minerals in the mid, and baked lemon flavors in the finish. Relatively low acidity - perhaps a bit flabby. Spouse thought there was a metallic edge. Nicely concentrated, easy drinking, overall length about 20s. Overall quite enjoyable, pretty good QPR at 15.

Ripe white fruit on the nose, but the palate is flabby and unfocused. In serious need of some acid and structure. Mediocre at best.
