  Same as prior notes, this is savory and complex, a little more fruit than I remember, in a pleasant, balanced way

  Last tasted in 2022. IMO, this wine was ready to go even then, and it still drinks well now.
  
  Ripe red cherries, red raspberries, cedar wood and plastic on the nose. Medium + intensity of aromas. You can smell the oak influence for sure, but it's well integrated with everything else. The palate adds ripe blueberries (a fun flavor for PN and one that I noticed in 2022 as well), some vanilla, soap and macerated fruit. The latter drives the finish. Medium + intensity of flavors.
  
  Medium body with medium + acid and medium - tannin. Hint of alcohol burn going down. I say drink this now. It's quite nice; but not going to get any better. Great pairing with coq au vin.

  This was brilliant pinot to my taste.
  
  The savory elements really add depth and complexity to the fruit. Oak is not overpowering it like some of the other dragonette pinots we tasted.
  
  QPR is questionable

  Not sure this is everyone’s preferred style but I really like it. Reminds me of the Radian also. More savory than sweet. Complex
