From magnum - I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, but this is punching far outside of its weight class. Still so fresh, with a finish that doesn’t quit. Plenty of acid to cut through a fondue dinner but not at all one dimensional or sharp. A nice amount of heft considering this cuvee doesn’t spend much time on the lees. Still quite primary, so no reason those with remaining bottles couldn’t keep these tucked away in the cellar for another handful of years, but it’s pitch perfect now considering its relatively modest pedigree.

From magnum. Auction bottle - mostly tertiary but some lingering fruit remains. Given it’s age+pedigree, an astonishingly successful whim purchase

92 - really well executed bottle of wine, but QPR is suspect when there are so many great cab driven options out there
