Vinturi aerated followed by a 30 minute decant. Inky red with blackcherry and cedar notes on the nose. Pleasant smooth mouthfeel with more cassis coming through and pepper spiciness. Medium long peppery finish. A much nicer wine than 15 months earlier.

Nez ouvert, vieille barrique, épices... En bouche rond, sec, amertume en fin de bouche mais pas déplaisant, complexe... Typical grenache, medium finish. Good now but might benefit from one or two more years.

A decent good wine but perhaps not to support the de Pape brand. Still sent well with roasted duck and accompaniments. Easy drinking.

Two hour decant. Just an OK CdP from a good vintage. As such the QPR is poor.
