After opening initial taste was flat, so decanted for a full day. This seemed to wake up the wine as flavors were more vibrant and robust. Dark fruits with nice finish. I would recommend you drink this wine now.

Recently had another bottle of the VdP and it was delicious. Something, for some reason, was off with this one. The flavors were very thin and watery, none of the big, bold characters the other bottles have had. I can't imagine this wine is beginning to degrade as Sean makes some amazing Rhone style wines that can last quite a while, but the flavors in this bottle were not up to the usual standards.

A bit heavy for a pork roast, needs a steak. Drinking very well, no rush to clear these from the cellar.

No one is going to complain about having this in their glass. It's very subtle and vey full bodied. Highly recommended.
