  In appearance, this wine is dark yellow with a gold tint. It smells of crushed gravel powder, lime rind, fine smoke, cherry pits and Spring herbs. It grows and grows with air, evolving from crisp and sharp to a more nuanced and layered feel, pulling in nice notes of lemon oil, apple skins and something like mineral spirits. It is dry on the palate, with an interesting texture like fresh sliced apple flesh. It tastes of mealy spiced apple and pear, nectarine and grapefruit. It attacks the palate with a vibrant feel, but rolls up into a rounded ball of flavor through the middle. It finishes pretty long, turning a bit more bitter--with tangy grapefruit and minerals carrying it to its conclusion. It has a natural and balanced feel to it and overall represents a very good QPR, in my opinion.
