This was a better bottle, or perhaps this wine is in a slightly better place. Popped and poured through a vinturi aerator and then stored for a week in a Wine Art. This wine seems to be a little more put together now. Soft and feminine on the nose and palate with well balanced fruit, tannin and acid. Good qpr as I would expect to pay double for a wine that is crafted like this. For the price it's a recommend and it is ready to drink.

Theme was southern Rhône, blind. Decanted about 2 hours. This was just singing tonight. Our last bottle (of 6), based on our experience, we could have waited a bit. Still deep garnet, no signs of age in the glass. Expressive, complex nose. Palate was rich, fruity, with plenty of structure. Long finish. No one guessed Vaqueyras, most guessed Chateauneuf. Good QPR, no one had much familiarity with this producer.

This is a powerful, well structured Vacqueyras, with all the requisite garrigue, plum, earthy cherry and spicy notes you'd expect from this appellation. No rush to drink this given the power and tannins that still remain, but this is drinking nicely now (B+/A-).

My last bottle and drinking just as superb. Great QPR at 18$.

No need to wait on last bottle if you have any any.
