This wine contains declassified of the famous Pegau 2003, and you can taste it!! It has a fabulous nose of soy sauce, oriental spices, bacon fat....The taste is fabulous, gorgeous tannins, nice sappy acidity, ripe cherries, bacon, not as long as the Chateauneuf... but very nice for a 6€ wine bought at the domain about 10 years ago! It was called "le vin des amis", I indeed keep this marvellous wine for my very best friends :-)

What's interesting of this wine is the past reviews from 2005. you can se how it has steadily improved along the way. I know it's a 13 dollar wine and not necessarily worthy of cellaring. some you just lose track of as I did this one.
Opened 2 hours before dinner, decanted, and enjoyed herbs de provence and meat... in the month, ripe cherries almost sweet, very good acidity and silky tannins with increasing appreciation over the next two hours
Wish I had a case of it :(
