  My impressions mirror those I gave last September, but a hair better because I allowed the unfinished bottle to sit under Argon for a day before finishing. The nose was ethereal with lots of raspberry, floral notes, with a faint spice in the background. A real QPR for $15/delivered. I would buy cases of this at that price.

  Consistent with my earlier tasting note - this is singing right now! Excellent QPR on this Cotes du Rhone. The raspberry element from the Grenache is in fine balance with the spice and subtle heat from the Syrah. This CdR nearly outperformed the Chateauneuf du Pape that we opened next. Too bad this was our Last Bottle...

  P&P a small glass and allowed remainder to breathe for about 1 hour. Very nice red fruit, forest floor on the nose and smooth tannins and bright raspberry on the palate from 60- 100 minutes after opening. Would buy again for $15 delivered.

  Nice bottle from the southern Rhone. This needed about 30 minutes of bottle air to settle down, but what was left was highlighted by agreeable tannins along with the raspberry ganache and even some mint coming from the grenache. This is fine Cotes du Rhone adn overall an enjoyable bottle of wine with excellent QPR - thanks Last Bottle!
