  As mentioned, needed 1-2 hours slow ox - found it undrinkable out of the bottle. Opened up a bit with a subtle but pleasant cherry nose. Not much complexity. Evened out further on the second night. Curious to see if it develops.

  Out of the bottle was not a pleasant experience. After a 2 hour decant the rough edges smoothed out with a variety of floral notes followed by a smooth and lingering finish. Great QPR. Will cellar 5 years before opening another bottle.

  A delightful quaff with nice bright red fruits nicely balanced with taut acidity and minerality…certainly not complex but the singular note rings true…
  Not as cheap at Costco $24 as the gentleman who bought at carrefour but
  it’s a nice QPR..beats many USA pinots at the price…

  The first decent bottle of cheap burgundy I've had so far. Some depth and complexity to the abundant fruit, but with freshness and balance.
  Unbelievable value from Carrefour at €8.99. I wish I'd bought more.

  1 hour slow ox. Nose: While tight and youthful aromas of potpourri and earthiness show. Palate: Tight acidity with bright red fruits, earth, assorted minerals and a clean finish. While not the cheapest Hautes-Cotes de Beaune this shows well in its youth. Next bottle will see a long decant before enjoyment but all the components are there for a good QPR Burg play. For now 88+ points w/ lots of upside.
  
  Day 2 Addendum ~ Wow this is still somewhat primary but has opened up with greater floral and mineral aspects. Now 89+ points.
