I had assumed this would be over the hill -- far from it, this is the best bottle of the case I've had yet, and I'm only sorry it's the last one. It still has significant structure, but has mellowed and melded to a level I would not have expected even two years ago. This is a $9 powerhouse that tasted like a $40 Rhone...unbelievable. If you have any left, enjoy them now.

Franchement très bien comme vin de semaine... ou de dimanche soir dans mon cas. Excellent RQP en prime, surtout avec le 15% d'autrefois à la SAQ. Pas le plus raffiné des vins, mais tout en fruit et assez long, en plus d'être costaud.

Latest bottle opened has just a hint of sourness on the nose, and has picked up some bitterness on the finish -- might just be an off bottle (and cork, fill level looked fine), but will open the next one sooner rather than later.
