I agree, no brioche and great acidity with very nice mouthfeel. I think that this will be great in a few years, but it was excellent tonight. Will buy more next year. Would love to have this in 375 mL as I would drink it more often.

typical Napa cab. Good to go now, but has plenty of life left.

4/11/2019 - dresden Does not like this wine:

wow - mega purple fruit bomb. frankly, barely drinkable.

Classic Launois in a rose form. Solid. Glad I bought some.

Coravin'd this 45 weeks ago and then opened last night. It was just as good as before. Another strong effort.

In a really good spot now. Ready to drink.

double decanted, but still needs more time.

Classic sea smoke flavors.

Great wine. Tannins resolved, mild bricking, great length. Not as good as my 1996 that I had in 2007, but close.

Nice toast and richness with some acid.

8/26/2018 - dresden Likes this wine:

Lemon curd, vanilla, very good. Suspect will be better in a few years, but totally enjoyable now.

Big fruit, good drinking for a baby. I wouldn't hesitate to open now for fun.

Another good bottle.

Less massive than previous bottles, but I liked the restraint.

Baby Krug. Excellent.

Really nice balance.

Decent. I wouldn’t buy, but good as a gift.

12/11/2017 - dresden wrote:

Underwhelmed. Was expecting more. Maybe needs more time to integrate? Will save next bottle.

Great C9P. Would love to see this in 5, 10, 15 and 20 years, along the way.

Somehow off tonight. Didn't have the chops that it normally does.

1st Marcassin Pinot (loved the last chard that I had). Paired with 2015 Clos de Papes. That bottle was great, but young. This was much more integrated and supple. Wish I had more!

5/20/2017 - dresden wrote:

Finally - comes in 375 mL. Love this bottle.

5/14/2017 - dresden wrote:

Kind of how I would image an SQN chard would taste, except slightly throttled back. Beautiful nose and extremely long finish. Too bad it is so expensive.....

I liked the Etzel better, but this was still quite nice. I think that it needs some more time.

2/28/2017 - dresden wrote:

Very good, but would give it a few more years.

2/6/2017 - dresden wrote:

Perfect for a quick taste of some bubbly rose with decent QPR.

2/6/2017 - dresden wrote:

Lovely wine. Well integrated and so easy to drink. Looks like it could last a while longer, but no need to wait now.

At first it seemed disjointed, but after a few days, it really came together. Wish I kept this in the cellar longer to see how it evolved.

12/23/2016 - dresden wrote:

Typical Sea smoke, mixed red/blue fruit. Drink in the next few years.

One of my favorites - great QPR!

Love the fizz that comes with this. Super easy to drink and keep open for a long time. Just a splash each night over a few weeks does the trick.

Beautiful, can't ask for more in a champagne, except for more of it!

Needs more time in the bottle, but it has some structure that I think will make it last another few years.

Didn't the complexity of what I would expect from this wine.

12/25/2013 - dresden wrote:

This was a disappointment. It was a very good wine, but my previous bottle was just so much better. Either my palette has changed in the last 6 years (probably has) or the bottle was just not as good. The previous bottle was 375mL and was mind blowing. This was 750 mL and very well integrated, but just not a standout.

Great QPR.

I like this wine, but am finding that there single vineyard wines are not that much better than there premier cuvee which is half the cost.

12/24/2012 - dresden Likes this wine:

Excellent drinking now, but should last a while longer. Lots of red fruit, but not overpowering. A bit more old world than typical Oregon/California Pinot.

12/25/2012 - dresden Likes this wine:

I thought this was pretty good, though QPR is poor. Definitely better than typical $30-40 bottles.

Well put together, but ridiculous amount of cherry. If is was not as well put together, would taste like cherry cough syrup.

1/21/2012 - dresden wrote:

Very well put together, but not mind blowing. Lots of honey on the nose. I would agree to let one of these age for a while, before opening.

Not worth the money, but still an excellent bottle. I am going to stick with their Premier Cuvee from now on.
