  July 27, 2012 - A serious Chinon. Atypically concentrated, though with the right weedy blackcurrant flavor profile. This one is accesible now, but should benefit with some additional bottle age. It currently lacks a little finesse. Will time rectify this, and if so, how much will it take? Worth a look. Could pay off big, and if not, it drinks well enough as is.

  June 3, 2012 - Translucent garnet color. Hints of spice and tobacco accompanied by black olive and piquillo pepper notes on the nose. Upon opening, the acidity was immediately apparent on the palate, but was not overwhelming. After several hours of decanting, this smoothed out nicely. Nice, light, bright strawberry and cherry flavors transitioned to black olive on the finish. Good QPR! Will buy again!
