Really surprised others rate this this in the 89-91 range. But I do agree this wine drinks very well with food. It has that perfect pomegranate balance and enough age for that it also had a somewhat long complex wall of aged fruit. Was so good I was sorry I didn’t open this with friends.

Still has a decent amount of fruit and could last at least another 5 years. I have a few more bottles and hope to update this. Very good QPR. It also really pays to wait a few years with the better vintages like this one. The wine is savory with some garrigue, more emphatic tar and licorice. It is medium bodied and a some sweetness. Satisfying to have with rich food. I often find that I waste expensive wine drinking it with food - this wine can be sipped, but is also great with food and is inexpensive enough to have no regrets.

Classic Rhone. Drinking well now after short decant. Great value. Good match to grilled lamb chops.
