Lovely. Waxy delicate fruit, enough acid to carry, nice round french oak... a lighter wine, well balanced and was very good QPR. Well made, easy to drink, easier to appreciate.

Gaining in steely mineral notes from previous bottles. Needs at least 30 minutes of air to start to flesh out, still very young with lots of upside potential.

There is no US wine which I purchased last year for under $25 which could compare. Nice crisp nose, touch of quince, on the palate it appears young, takes a bit to loosen up, then more orchard fruits which just glide lightly across the palate but have a beautifully light, lingering finish.

Le Grappin with Caviste (Grappe, Stockholm): Nose with ripe apple, some smoke, some oak notes, somewhat spicy. Palate with apples, some citrus, spice, medium concentration of fruit, rather high acidity, some mineral. Rather ready to drink, 87 p.

out of 375ml - rich nose with spice, peach, tropical notes, brown sugar and a delightful old oak, slightly oxidative nuance. In the mouth, focused and rather rich with clove, round pear and meal suggestions. Vivid hazelnut finish. Forward and drinking well now but I have no doubt this will gain in nuance with 2-3 years. Outstanding.

Gaining fruit since last year, great QPR, a little short on the finish

Popped and given an hour to open which really helped. Waxy and orchard fruits, nice body and a gentle lingering finish. Hard to put down...

No formal notes, but this bottle was so much more open than previous showings...

Not quiet ready for prime-time, day two was much better.
Nice orchard fruits, some peach, a bit mineraly, but also a bit dumb right now.
