Started out as very short, but came around nicely after an hour.
GSC (Grenache-Syrah-Cinsault) Languedoc with a wee bit of age can be so dramatic! Syrah is dominating the expression of this wine. Polished, with great concentration and all things in place for a very good wine just hitting its stride. Blinded, I surely would have gone for a better Rhône wine.
With a bit of luck, there will be more available at the shop. Fantastic QPR! Winespectator's score of 91p is somewhat exaggerated though...

Aucune amélioration avec le temps... ----- What a disappointment for this house, expectations were high after tasting Les Pierres Plantées 2007 . Lots of leather , strawberry, alcohol++, red fruit on the nose. In the mouth , no structure , acidity (too much) , leather, herbs ( bay leaf) . No improvement with time ...
