Still one of my favorites. Hard to beat at this price point. Aside from the hot nose, it's hard to fault anything in this one. Plum, tar, licorice, blueberry, oaky vanilla spice. Dark, but vibrant. Long lingering finish of toasty oak and fruit. One of the "aha" wines for me years ago when I got into wine. Too many bottles to count later, it still puts a smile on my face. I am sad this is my last bottle. Been hoarding it for a couple of years, but for under $20 bucks a bottle we can rebuild.

Same note as previous: Big GSM blend that hits all the happy Rhone notes--rich blackberry-plum fruit, spice, a bit of garrigue. Great value.

Nothing to add to last year’s tasting note.
Still drinking very well and amazingly good value.
Probably has 3+ years of good drinking.

Hmm. I thought we liked this more, but this bottle fell short
