Best showing yet. Softer and more suave than previous showings. Also, some dark fruit. Perhaps I just opened previous bottles too early. Delicious showing and good QPR.

Much better showing than my last bottle. Popped and poured and enjoyed over 3 hours. This was very reminiscent of a left bank Bordeaux. Earthy flavors with some Cab Franc green. Tasty.

Very tight and unyielding. Decent amount of tannin on the finish. I didn't remember this as a "needs time" wine, but maybe in this vintage it is. Seems to have the fruit and structure to outlast the tannins. Dark and chewy.

Popped and poured and enjoyed over a few hours. This was just okay showing classical Loire herbaceousness and dusty tannin. The depth and concentration however were lacking in what I thought was the latest vintage of the century in 2015. Perhaps they will come into form with time in the bottle. Okay QPR here but I prefer Fosse-Seche Eolithe as my QPR killer in this category.
