Almost 5 years since my bottle. Perfectly on point and, while it probably won’t improve from here, it’s very good and should be fine for another 5 years or more. Really fresh nose with a bit of herbal greenness, some pencil shavings, and plummy fruit. Very Left Bank Bordeaux. Juicy mid-weight palate with good concentration. Quite decent finish. Should have bought more of this as it’s really drinking great now.

Translucent garnet. Spectacular nose with just-ripe crushed raspberries, red licorice, fennel, and some very-ripe strawberry in the background. Crunchy crab-raspberry fruit. Delicate but really persistent. I imagine this would really be nice in 4-5 years. A recommendation from a top local wine merchant and they were right — very good. Would love to throw this into a blind Burgundy tasting once it has a few years on it. This wine must not be in broad circulation or I imagine it would get more press…. Anyway, very good QPR.

Lemon, cream, honey, pear, crisp apple, light petrol, rich and lithe at the same time. So very tasty. Nice balance of sweet and sour. Worth the wait and certainly upside from here if, as you would expect, more complexity comes with a few more years. Finish is spectacular. No rush here. An absolutely beautiful, somewhat unexpected surprise.
