  Pizza Mundo, and it’s cold, so CPD it is. Very nice, but should have saved half, to let it soften some. Rich, but still tight, has time to go. Very nice. Yum

  Nice CDP, garagiste says it’s organic. Still has a way to go. Opened 45 minutes before the pizzas, very good. Yum

  Excellent. Drinks well on PnP and though I'd like to give the next bottle some more air, this didn't change too much over an hour. I'd have guessed an even more Grenache-dominant blend vs. the published 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault. Sweet kirsch Grenache fruit and some spice, a touch warming but with no alcohol heat, some plum and dark fruits coming in. Not the most complex wine, but very well made and in balance.
  
  Solid QPR sub-$30 USD.

  Heavy dried herbs, leather, and a bit of plum. Delicious.

  Medium garnet color with minimal rim clearing
  Medium plus aromas of ripe and dried cherry with dried herbs/ potpourri and white peeper
  Medium plus bodied with palate of red and black fruit with dried herbs and garrique
  Medium plus tannins and medium plus acidity with medium plus alcohol as well
  Moderate length led by fruit and tannins
  Nice wine but a little one dimensional and lacking in complexity to warrant a higher score
