A little too heavy but lots of nice floral tones - very aromatic in the glass and a nice balance but despite it being dry on the palate the finish felt a little sweet. Golden hue, nice lunchtime accompaniment.

This really opened up nicely and quickly. Hot day and served with a sausage casserole. The food somewhat surprisingly brought the wine out and tamed it a little. Floral notes but not overpowering like previous note. Body felt spot on. Acidity excellent giving a nice dry feel. Good smooth finish. Worth another go with a rich, spicy food I think.

At first I wasn't impressed - but after an hour or so it was tart, nice medium finish, better acidity than I anticipated.......overall good but not really worth the build up of holding it for so many years.....

Very floral in the bottle, almost overpoweringly so. Continued into the glass. There were some citrus undertones but this was very aromatic with sweet flowers. But rather too heavy in the mouth. No signs of the dilution mentioned in the other note. Overall I found this a bit unsubtle....it did lighten a little after an hour but after than no real development. At £9 it wasn't a bad buy but not a fabulous QPR either.

Limes on the nose, a bit of wet slate and a touch of honey - not as intense as some. Citrussy fruit with a little honyed age but not too much. Perhaps a bit dilute on the finish. Fairly short and lacking in finesse a bit. OK.
