Incredible QPR Poor Man's sauternes. Incredible quality and complexity and a great bargain. If they can keep this quality up another Villages I hope they can make this more consistently. A real winner. Loads of sweetness kept in check with great acidity. Excellent balance. Lots of tropical flavors with honey and pineapple. Still very youthful this has a long life ahead of it. The only reason the price is this good is because the region is not that well known

Honey, pineapple, tropical flavors, hints of toasted nuts. Tons of sweetness well balanced by great acidity. Long finish. INSANE over the top QPR. A must try. Drink now or age for decades. So good, best to drink sooner rather than later to enjoy its unique flavors and complexity

Another killer showing. Delicious sweet youthful with tropical notes candied pineapple and nuttiness and toastiness which are not indications of oxidation but just the flavor profile. Long acidic finish. A QPR home run

Nice golden color. Nose of candy to tropical fruits, honey, pineapple. Medium Bodied with loads of concentrated fruit and excellent acidity which keeps the ton of sugar exciting and refreshing and prevents it from being cloying. Flavors of honeycomb pineapple, smoke, mineral, citrus and hints of toasted almonds. Long finish with tons of acidity. Very enjoyable now this will be fun to watch it evolve over many years. 13% abv. Insane qpr.

A truly special kosher wine, perhaps the only kosher Monbazillac in the world. Monbazillac is an AOC for sweet white wine in the Dordogne, southwest France. To be named Monbazillac, the grapes need be affected by Botrytis cinerea, or “noble rot,” which produces highly concentrated sweet wines. This should be distinguished from other forms of sweet wines such as late harvest or ice wines which do not produce the depth, acidity, and flavor present in botrytized wines. Monbazillac produces wines …

Insanely delicious! Gorgeous bouquet and flavors of pineapple tropical notes toasty nutty notes. Rich thick and sweet with good acidity and great complexity. Over the top QPR winner. Drinks beautifully now and can age for many years. This beautiful primary youthful fruit stage should last at least another 5 to 10 years if not longer. With the amount of residual sugar and acidity though this could be a very long lived wine. Because it's a different region for lovers of …

Greatest of the, smokiness is nuttiness almond pineapple tropical flavors with loads of sweetness and concentration the great acidity to keep it all in balance. This is absolutely packed with flavor and complexity and drinks beautifully now but should evolve well over a couple of decades. Off the charts QPR. Anybody who is a fan of Saturnes must try this.

93-94+. Insane QPR and a must-have. Nice golden color. Explosive bouquet of liquid honey candy apricot pineapple smoke almond minerals. Fairly sweet but with great acidity to balance it. Unloaded with complex concentrated flavors of pineapple, tropical fruits, toasted almonds. Long finish with tons of acidity. Drinks beautifully now but it should develop over a few seller selection. They must have. Should be on anybody's short list.

95-96+. This wine is insane. This is beyond QPR the QPR is so good. Pale straw color. Explosive bouquet of honey, candied pineapple, toasted almonds, spice, floral notes, tropical flavors. Medium bodied and fairly sweet but with tons of acidity to provide beautiful balance. It is super concentrated on its flavors with pineapple, fresh apricot, honeysuckle, toasted almonds and other nuttiness, tropical flavors. Very complex and very concentrated. A mile long finish. A must get. Cellar selection. Well it is …
