Drinking well now, dark and brooding, leather, cocao, dark fruits, tannins are subtle now, good long finish. Wish I had a few more bottles, great QPR, lovin this one.

A lovely CdP that is now ready to drink up. Had it paired with lamb at a dinner party and was a hit amongst all the guests, especially those who are experience wine lovers. Medium bodied with a opulent and slightly woody nose, on the palate was plenty of dark fruits, plums, leather, smoke. Very smooth already and tannins have settled nicely. A bit pricey on the Canadian side of the border, but worth it.

A solid solid southern Rhone. Medium bodied, dark fruit, hints of leather and smoke, velvety and smooth. Still a touch of alcohol and tannins, but compared to the CdP that I had a few days ago, this Rhone did very well for the price. Definitely will buy more and serve up for future house parties.
