A decent enough Côtes du Rhône, with some lightish, fresh fruit; uncomplicated but pleasant to drink. We had this from a rather expensive restaurant wine list at a price of £27: retail would be about a third of that, which is more than enough.

Upon P&P 1 hr. before blind French tasting, I thought it had gone South, but took it along with several others I was contributing. 1-1/2 hrs later, it had opened up with much more fruit and a pleasant, fruity nose. Light in color, which suggested age, but ended up being the first bottle of 18 which was emptied by the participants, and there were some much more heralded wines amongst the offerings.

Similar impressions as my previous notes of 8/14 and 11/15. Good QPR for <$10 in May, 2010

Very pleasant on nose and palate after 1.5 hr decant. An excellent QPR at <$10

Fruit is back in this one and also the pepper notes. Tasted much better than I recall the past one more than a year ago.
