December 31, 2013 - Was expecting better from a 2006 bottle; it was well preserved with all dark fruits apparent, but did not blow my socks off.

May 16, 2012 - I've never been a fan of Rhone varietals, but this wine really made me change my mind.
Very soft, with a smooth finish. Nose is a lot of cherries with a bit of butterscotch below that.
A bit of spice on the palate, with a slight hint of oak.
For $7, might be the best value I've ever seen. Just bought a bunch more of these.
I don't think these'll get much better, so smoke 'em if you've got 'em. -
