Dark color. Plush velvety fruit bouquet with blueberry and cassis. Dense and concentrated with layers of fruit but also loads of tannin. Well balanced with density and concentration. Dark fruits, blackberries, blueberries. Long finish with tannins and acidity. Enjoyable now it should probably improve for another few years. Likely best from 2027 to 2031. More tannic and structured compared to the 2019 which has more flamboyant fruit. It would definitely be fun to try those two side by side. Good qpr. Definitely worth owning

Pale gold color. Nice bouquet of citrus and melon. With lots of acidity and minerality. This is still very youthful. Flavors of melon and Peach followed by Citrus minerals acidity salinity and a long finish. Good concentration and great balance. Really well done. Definitely worth buying.

91-92. Tasted next to the Chinon which had a little more fruity nature that still had plenty of fruit but was a little more complex with some smokey notes. Still beautiful vibrant fruit with dark berries and blackberry flavor with some hints of smoke and a perfume nature. Great vibrant fruit with excellent balance. This is not your typical New World super concentrated Cabernet frog but more of the old world subtle Delicious Fruit filled version. Outstanding qpr. A must try.
