Excellent stuff as it is getting very integrated. Plenty of fruit and mineral on the nose and palate. Pitted orchard fruit and white flowers, the acidity is not clearly present, yet this is due to integration as this is quite sweet, yet there is no cloying and is still light on the palate. Long finish and paired really well with a spicy Moroccan goat stew.

excellent qpr. Notes almost exactly like the previous bottles. Much better on day 2 with sweet red apple, white peaches and apricot with a lie acidic and mineral driven backbone. Not in the same realm as JJ Prum, but not in the same price group either.

Very concerned when I removed the capsule, because there was a black scum substance living on the top of the cork. After I pulled the cork, nothing to worry. a wee bit of sulphur and petrol on the nose, but white flowers candied apples and apricots. here was a flint like quality. Like little pricks on your tongue. creamy finish with a hint of lemon zest in the wines acid. decent finish.

while I really enjoyed this, I was already the good part of a bottle into the wind. Still a fun wine to share with NJ SIL and BIL.
