Very good wine at this point. Similar to previous notes, this one improved on the second day into a more integrated, blended, delicious complement to dinner.

I think my last 92 rating was a bit exuberant. This is an excellent bottle, especially for $18. Well integrated now, I didn't think that there would be further development likely, but D thought there was. Good tannic backbone and excellent dark and red fruits, and a hint of licorice(?). Great QPR; fine bottle.
Three nights later, it hadn't survived although gassed. No longer drinkable.

Opened up during the meal. This one will continue to improve in the bottle. Try again in another six months. Well balanced, worked well with venison dinner.

Down a notch from prior visits. A lingering sour note that I didn't experience before. Still, nice bottle with food.

Delicious juice. Well integrated Minervois. Better than the last bottle, and will continue to hold at this level.
