I would have rated this an 8.0 upon opening. Maybe 7.9. It really blossomed given time to open up. Night 2 - much more expressive, fruit and earth and deliciousness. Nice. — 21 days ago
Love all the stem tannins, but fruit and floral elements very muted atm. This would have been better two years ago, or in another 3-4 years - it’s in an in-between stage right now. Still nice, but definitely not distinctive Cote-Rotie. — 2 months ago

Yum. Great fresh fruit, wonderful texture, great tannin balance - wine is great with a slight chill. — 23 days ago
That light lemony Jacquere-ness combines well with the Chard and apparently with the Mondeuse Blanc, not that I’ve ever tasted that as a varietal before. Nice blend with both acidity and loveliness as well as richness, roundness, texture and length. — a month ago
Judging by past comments, I can say the funk is much diminished in the 2021 vintage. Still a bit sweet, but Bordeaux vibes for QPR. Ok. — 21 days ago
Skin contact Altesse?? Yes please! Loved the texture, perfectly balanced, beautiful aromatics, peaches and stone fruit, really lovely. — 24 days ago
Drinking really lovely right now. Merlot doesn’t get enough love from pop wine media. And so so clean - how does 2010 Bordeaux drinking in 2024 not have a trace of Brett? Lovely. — 2 months ago
