PNP, and drinking well from the open. Nice Bordeaux blend that still presents the Tuscan terroir front and center. The nose in particular almost suggests sangiovese (there is none in this blend), with hints of burnt citrus and Tuscan soil. Good balance of fruit on the palate with a dash of leather and minerality. Really enjoyable and great QPR relative to its better known and more expensive older brother.

2 flaschen im abstand weniger wochen getrunken. Positiv überrascht nach eher enttäuschendem 2014er erlebnis. Nach etwas belüftungszeit schöner trinkfluss dunkle kirsche, etwas sauerkirsche, tee(r)ige nuacen und ansprechende dichte... den 16er würde ich definitiv wieder kaufen und dünkt mich momentan in gutem trinkfenster.

Risotto, Lasagne, of course home made and this is an absolutely spectacular pairing.
Fully open for business after just 1h of slow ox!
The prior tasting note is spot on and I still can’t believe how good this second wine is.
Drink this while you wait for the 2016 Sass!
Now - 2035
