Nice basic right bank. Black cherry and blackberry with well balanced acid and fine, integrated tannins. This after 1-hour decant. Better the second and third days with more depth: bit of chocolate and slate. Good QPR but nothing special.

Really clean and authentic, wet gravel, some wood spice, ripe but not overly ripe red currant and berry, not astringent or alcoholic, it’s like the archetypal right bank Bordeaux.

cheers - almost reminds me of a California cab, big and bold....definitely should be decanted and better balanced on day 2, imo....70% Merlot, 30% cab franc

Decanted 45 minutes. Opened nicely with decant. Dark red fruit, cherry, black cherry, bit of cocoa, oak, light spice & earth. Medium full, good balance, moderate length. Nice finish, good with dinner, strip steak, fresh bruschetta, quinoa salad, equally before and after.

Good qpr. Nice balanced mix of dark fruit, lightly spicy goodness, and acidity. Needs an hour or two to chill out. Dark chocolate emerges on and verges on dominating on day 2 -- in a very good way. Will get more.

Walkaround tasting so just short notes: Red and dark berries, good acidity and sticky tannin, good length. Wait a few years. Try around 2025.

Very nice again. Open lovely nose and palate, black cherry, blackberry, vanilla, chocolate, hints of leather. Nicely understated, balanced.
