Still good, but...not great, this may have been an off bottle, or it may have hit its peak. Some bricking evident, and still a really nice wine, and great QPR.

Exquisite, this vintage is still drinking well -- classic Rhone, solid tannins, though still a bit sweet, not unexpected with the 80% grenache. I have a few more in the cellar, and glad for it -- wish I had another case.

Decanted for an hour, and allowed to warm up a bit from cellar temps. It's mellowed nicely, still kept enough structure to hold up a while longer, but a pleasant vegetative flavor is now coming through, which will allow it to pair well with holiday foods.

Fabulous, and only wish this were not the last bottle in the cellar. At peak.
