PnPd but definitely will benefit with a long decant. Dark, opaque purple. Pronounced nose of blackberry crumble and peppery cured meat. Full-bodied assault of ripe blue and black fruits. This is a rich, textured Syrah. Good integration of tannin, alcohol and acid for a relatively young wine. Went well with brisket, buttery spuds and wilted spinach with Ruckles goat cheese. Would definitely buy this again. Very good QPR.

I really want to love this wine… I like it. A lot. It is smooth, elegant. An adult wine, for sure.

The wine had time to age gracefully yet give it time to open in the glass.

I taste red fruit, earthy, black currant. Light oak. Tannins are soft, as expected.

This wine will co-pilot a meal, not take centre stage. Maybe, for the price, I was expecting bolder, more centre stage, less adult Syrah. And perhaps Le Vieux Pin aims for adult, co-starring role. And perhaps I need to adjust my expectations accordingly.

Watery rim. There is a vegetal character that makes some head off in the direction of Loire when this was served blind. Firm, dry, good with solid food. (I have adopted a more stringent application of points since my previous bottle, so this is very good though not excellent.)
