Nice bang for the buck, but maybe a touch sweet and predictable.

A total surprise. This wind has nice body and a deeper flavor. Also a nice straw color. I would definitely get this again.

Nice color of gold with the color intensifying at the rim. Nose of nutty notes, like roasted almonds, citrus, a bit salty mineral, a bit hot spice, and buttery oriented. Taste of polished sweetness, like caramel, a bit spice, zesty, and a bit green apple. After of some bittersweet grapefruit(bit overpowering), a bit unpolished, and edgy like graphite/rustic metal note. Overall the nose surpasses the taste and a quality Chardonnay.

Good structure and balance. The apple and honeydew play nicely. Fuller-bodied than the Lot 129; There's more oak influence. Medium finish. Still fantastic. Good QPR.
