Light to medium, cherry fruit. Nothing more, nothing less. No need to decant. Pop and pour wine that paired well with slow cooked skirt steak, basmati rice, and cabbage. It's not a wow wine. Will open my second bottle in 2 years.

Tobacco, spiced tar on the nose. The finish was pleasant and not overbearing. Like the previous notes, cork was about 30% saturated. I was expecting bottle variation but this one managed to be a nice pop, pour, drinking wine. Yummy QPR!

No need to decant. Barnyard on open but subsided quickly. The notes were floral. Medium-bodied with a nice finish. Nice expression of the 2009 vintage. One of the better bargains out there under $20.00 for Cotes du Rhone.
