Excellent, my first Clos de Pape and I was surprised that this is not the typical CdP, it has a rather Pinot like elegant style.

This was excellent on the first day, right after PnP, a bit tired the next day. But overall I would say this is undervalued, beautiful bouquet and nice texture / structure.

In comparison with a Chianti and an Austrian Merlot it seemed a bit dull and one-dimensional, but still overall good and a nice QPR.
