Wow in a really great place. Beautiful aromatics with red fruit, tobacco, and spice on the nose. Palate is complex and showing great complexity. Finish is pretty and lengthy. Really drinking well now with a pop and pour.

9/12 - good cork. Pale/medium garnet core, wide pale garnet/mahogany rim. Nose is quite peppery and green, some spice, smoke and underlying red fruits. Medium bodied, surprisingly soft, even silky, tannins. fully mature, savoury red fruit, white pepper and herbal notes still there but perhaps not quite as dominant as on the nose, some underlying fruit sweetness too here, fresh acids, spicy good length finish. Good/very good, drinking now.

Took to captains tavern. Showed much better than my first bottle and improved with aeration. Nose was shy at the beginning as well as the palate. Around 90 mins after opening nose opened up but not as much as the palate. Fruit was a bit sweet, fine tannins with long finish. Truly a nice QPR burg. In a few more years may add 1 or 2 points Went well with cedar plank salmon with tomato aioli. 91-93.

Très joli vin, sur des notes secondaires, qui appelle irrésistiblement à se resservir...
Aucune trace végétale du millésime sur ce vin.

No formal note. Took to river oyster bar. Decanted for about 45 mins, the fruit was hidden, a little harsh. Maybe needed more time
