What a pleasant surprise to open this and find it still fresh and elegant. This could almost be a Pegau Reservee in a very light vintage with a similar nose of forest floor, leather and cigar box and a nice medium body, nice garrigue and subtle pepper and blackberry flavors , medium finish. Very nice and seems to have a few more good years ahead..

Really lovely, earthy, complex Rhone. Dried berries, earth and perhaps a touch of licorice. Texture reminds me of a lightweight pinot noir with a lot of bite, but perhaps not quite as silky. Lengthy finish that ends with some tartness.

Pretty much what I expected. Hmmmm, something like a World Series WIN by the BOSTON RED SOX! HAH! I consumed with a Domino's Brooklyn style pizza. For around $10 you can get much better juice. Really just about everything you like in a Rhone style wine like a RED SOX WIN.

A very nice, eminently drinkable, food-friendly red Rhone. Nothing too fancy or special, but a great every day bottle.

3rd bottle tasted more like 1st. Mature Rhone-like flavors with oak and smokiness. Shortish finish but still very enjoyable and nice QPR.
