2013 vintage. Beautiful combination of the elegance of 2011 and the heft of 2012. It's perfectly dialed in.

Fantastic. Hints of vanilla, buttery. Some oak. Finesse. Finish is everything you'd ever want.

Aubert light. Very nice for a QPR. Burgundian in style. No apparent heat. Good yellow fruit. Great acidity. Well balanced.

This took me a while to get to...had to shovel the snow first. Worth the wait. Coconut backed by solid fruit and a proper acid balance. Minimal effect from the oak. Just great. @Benoit Touquette
