I think this wine is still a few years away from being really good. This is mountain fruit, it comes off a little more concentrated than a valley floor southern Rhone. This was a wee bit hot @14.5% alcohol but still found it to be a wine that will do nothing but improve. Great QPR, will try again in 2010. Pairs well with Cheese Burgers.

Good material. Lots of fruit and tannins. Still, not really integrated yet, and the alcohol sticks out. At this point, nothing special. Hopefully it develops. I'll leave the others alone for a year or two and see what happens.

Pleasant food wine that opened up some with airing and as it got closer to room temperature; fruit and flower nose, reasonably complex wine on tasting, but I wonder if it will truly improve

This bottle was significantly more impressive than the last. Rich but full of Rhone typicity.
