  March 5, 2024 - Still great. Felt a bit more thin than previous bottles but the savoriness was still really great with Brazilian food.

  March 26, 2023 - beautiful nose, violets and cherries and leather. Medium weight, ooh this is velvety. Very subtle, there is no explosion of fruit here, it’s just layered on bit by bit. Savory mushroom olive thing going on, a bit of bell pepper but not much. Medium chalky tannin on the finish. Great QPR, an absolute stunner for an entry level wine. Looking forward to seeing how the other 5 bottles go over the next few years.

  February 11, 2022 - Jag älskar Olga Raffault och besökte gården det här året och det påverkar min upplevelse av vinet. Däremot tycker jag att den här årgången är lite väl stallig och saknar lite frukt.
  
  Inledningen är stallig med mycket hö, läder, lite blod och lakritsrot. Visst finns det toner av hallon och smultron, men de tonerna är relativt återhållna.
  
  Även om jag må låta negativ så är det här ett mycket bra vin, som alltid, men Olga har haft bättre årgångar.

  November 17, 2021 - Hmm. I clearly did not like this as much as others on here.
  
  This is a very fruity-fresh wine that is easy to drink but pretty uninteresting. The greenness is more in the fresh chile pepper domain than the bell pepper/vegetal, which I find doesn't temper the fruitiness quite so well. The multivitamin mention from Beerzebub is something I also noted, especially on day 2. There's a sharply red fruited acidity on both the nose and palate that I associate more with young, awkward Pinot Noir. What's funny about this wine is that I feel like I almost really like it, like you could turn a few levers and turn it into something that really works, but instead, for me right now, it doesn't. 12.5%, $17.
