Adding this as a data point, since my experience was much different than the note below, perhaps because the wine has put on weight in the intervening months. This is among the inkiest 12% wines I’ve come across. The contrasts are pretty remarkable: broad and expansive and rich but light on the palate. The nose fantastic and evolves: blood, iron, black olive tapenade, lavender, white pepper, blackberries, roast meats. No decent; drank over three hours. Great wine.

Opened impetuously after a 2017 Gevry Chambertin VV underwhelmed. Initially tart cranberry and vanilla on the nose but after 30 minutes settled into dark cherries, crushed strawberries, dirt, baking spices, and orange peel. Really enjoyable but glad I have a few left. This will really shine, I suspect, in about 5 years or so.

Agree with the note below, though the nose is more expressive now. Strikes me as a very well made wine from good, not great grapes. Really enjoyable. QPR is uncertain.
