Very intense red fruit notes. Reminds pinot noir in the nose, but aspect much more opaque and in the mouth more body. In a very good place right now. Will hold for a few more years but a really fruit-forward wine.

very burgundian in the nose but so fruit forward. In the mouth a bit earthy, very nice wine. No need to hurry but won't improve.

Very intense fruitiness with perfect balanced acidity. In a prime window now and will certainly keep for 3+ years. Beautiful!

Very dark in colour, almost violet/blue. Lush and rich sweet red and blue berry fruit on the nose, cherries, pepper, sweet spices - very nice. On the palate clean and mineral, lovely red berries, dark cherries and slightly spicy with round tannins towards the medium+ finish. Not super complex but balanced and attractive. Very good QPR.

Pretty consistent with last note, maybe a little less complex. Still a good wine, the nose is pretty impressive.

Relatively dark. Very expressive nose, perfumed, very nice fruit character, blackberries, cherries, herbal notes as well. Very nice and smooth mouthfeel, a lot of ripe fruit on the palate, good and fresh acidity, a bit of oak, just a touch. Pinot Noir like. Elegant. Medium finish, very good.
