  Nice QPR, but definitely needs a 2-3 hour decant. Quite a bitter finish that needed some aeration.

  I enjoyed this bottle undecanted at The Oven East with my friend Antonio. I have had this bottle in numerous vintages and find that it is always a great bottle for the price. Drank well upon opening and continued to unfold the following two hours. Well balanced, great fruit, no detectable heat, decent nose. Dark fruit, earth, maybe some liqueur note, probably other things as well. This is a very well made wine, probably at its peak, and may hold for another 3-4 years. Pretty hard to beat for the money.

  I really enjoyed this bottle. It's aged nicely and has hit a good balance between the 3 varietals, with the Syrah shining brightly. Dark garnet color, full-bodied with aromas and flavors of cherry, blackberry, and violet. Soft, silky tannins pave the way for a good finish. A real bang for the buck that still has a lot of life left in it.

  Wanted to like this more but was just ok in most areas. Nose was a bit muted and did not have the Southern Rhône characteristics. Palate was more acidic and medium body than expected
