Found in the back of the cellar. Concerned it would be over the hill. Concerns were unfounded. Lovely nose of wild strawberry, earth, and a big dose of anise. Red berries with a surprisingly long finish of black pepper. Still mouth-coating and drying. Yes, it's on the downslope but still highly pleasurable. Drink now.

- Aromas of black pepper and blackberry and has flavours of mushroom with a medium/full body - 7 years aging was just fine for this above-average Rhone Villages wine, but definitely time to drink up.

Great wine for the price point ($15). After opening, you're hit with strong scents of bell pepper and rubber (tire inner-tube). After 15-20 minutes, I could smell faint rose water scent. Taste was very one dimensional, but satisfying. Nice balance of fruit and spiciness with good acidity; a good sipping wine. This wine is drinking nicely right now - no need to cellar any longer.

I was a bit disappointed just because I like their CdP so much, but at $15 bucks perhaps I was a bit unrealistic. Was a bit simple.
