Nose: Pineapple, flintstone. Mouth: Quite elegant. The 14% alc. is hardly noticeable. Flintstone and a smokiness. Fruitsalad, enough acidity to keep it fresh, in the finish lemon is kicking in. There is a slight buttery aroma, too. The oak is well integrated and not pronounced at all. The open bottle in the fridge has developed a pronounced aroma of bee wax.

Peach, apple and some orange on the nose. Nicely balanced palate. Pretty good QPR.

Was sold this wine as a Hamilton Russell/Ataraxia contender, however with overpowering zesty and lack of real balance this just wasn't what I was after. Shame. Other vintages may present better value but not this one imo.

Creamed nut, lemon zest and apple nose with char and toast notes. Med-full, round and ripe palate; good balance and length. 4/5

Rich, nutty, and buttery, with sweet lemon balanced with oak. Very nice.
