Excellent Lesser vintage excellence here, drinking well right now. Little funk here and nearly mid-weight. Other's TNs tell the story well. This is really nice with food, too, in part due to the lean towards elegance vs. heft. but there's not doubt from the time you pull the cork that you've got a Grenache-driven CdP in hand.
Nice with a plate that include cast iron Zabuton and hanger steak!
Lovey stuff and nice QPR at an all-in delivered sub-$40 USD price about six years ago.

Better after 1 hour breathing in the bottle. Very enjoyable

No brett, very clean. Sort of presenting like an earthy Bourdeaux but perhaps with a more floral and also garrigue-infused bouquet.
Enjoyable, prim, but not particularly complex (even after hours of breathing).

Wow, absolutely excellent bottle, no issues with cork or too much bret. And there was still a lot of life if you can wait. Very good indeed, Yum!
