Somewhat streamlined since release but still obviously the same stuff, which is to say that it's oddly reminiscent more of a Southern Rhone than a Northern Rhone in flavor and thickness despite coming from near Cornas. Maybe there is a little aging-syrah olive to give it away. A hearty country wine except that the tannins are still very muscular and this will probably need another 5 or 10 years to get into a friendly zone.

Torn between singing to the mountaintops about the QPR here and keeping it to myself. Ready to go, gains weight during the evening, and makes the Vin de France designation seem like a badge of honor.

My last Peyrouses. These were so good, and so cheap! Sadly, for me not for him, the word is out on Guillaume Gilles and the prices have adjusted accordingly. Still worth getting if you can find it.

Agree with others, best sub-$25 (at the time, well above $25 now) Rhône wine in recent memory. Big, but nuanced and restrained rather than overripe and spoofy. As other tasters have noted, floral and baking spice notes are very prominent. Drinking fine but with plenty of time to continue to improve.
