Found this old bottle buried in the cellar. Still good but lost the crisp fruity notes typical of this wine. It had mellowed and got darker and a little syrupy. Definitely wish I had found/drank this about 5 years ago.

I keep thinking I'm going to like this more than i do. Maybe it's me: tonight I've got a stuffy nose, so in no shape to appreciate it. The lightness and the acidity are the key, but not potent enough aromas or flavors to overcome my stuffy nose, but not bad with the chicken tikka.

A beautiful effort with an aromatic range of spiced white peach, rose petal, lychee, melon and herbs that continue onto the palate, unfolding onto the long finish. Medium-bodied with an alluring spine of lemony acidity.

Popped and poured with dinner. 49% Pinot Gris, 22% Gewuzrt, 20% Riesling, 9% Pinot Blanc. A refreshing white with good acidity. Not great QPR.

Much drier than I was expecting (or recalled).
