I stick to what I wrote in -16. This wine has an amazing PQR, and easily competes with burgundy's at twice the price. Still a lot of air does it better , a day later it is terrific.
Delighted 18 bottles are waiting in the cellar.

Definitely needs decanting; we thought is was spoiled on opening and opened another bottle to have with dinner. Tried it again after dinner just before throwing it away and it was lovely

Moderate, currently not as good as some of the previous vintages. Decanted for around 30 minutes. Should likely have been a lot longer. A lot more balanced the day after with a pretty interesting potential.
The rating is a compromise of day 1 and day 2. I'll try and forget about the bottles I have for a least another year before tasting again.
On the long (7 yrs) run I think this wine might become an outstanding wine and a beautiful example of where upper side Beaujolais can develop. QPR now is above fair. On the long run QPR will be outstanding

Definitely needs decanting, opened up very nicely on the second day.
