This is still drinking well. Not a lot of structure, but nose is still pleasant and it goes down easily. Great QPR and hanging in. Last bottle, so can't see how much longer it will last.

Still drinking quite well. Not sure how much life left? Maybe a year or so?

Intense color. An over-the-top grenache-syrah blend from the Languedoc with a good pedigree. A bit reduced in the nose with intense flavors and a 15% alcohol finish. Strictly for lovers of this style of wine that emphasizes intensity over finesse.

Dark fruits and some medicinal notes on the nose. Smooth in the mouth, but slightly low acidity and oak treatment pull down the overall impression.

Although not from Rhone, one of our favorite reliably good Rhone blends that pairs with food exceedingly well. This vintage is probably best consumed by end of year or early next. It is pretty much at pop and pour stage.

This is drinking really well right now and probably can go another year or two.....I was a bit surprised. I think of this as an easy drinking table or house wine!

One of the most reliably good Rhone blends year after year, and at a price of $17-18, great wine for the price. Good depth of dark fruit, well-balanced, fruit tends to make it a little more robust than medium-bodied, but it is smooth and elegant, but in no way thin. DRINK NOW status (although we decanted which made it sing). Think it is Grenache and Syrah blend, maybe other Rhone grapes, but year-to-year it is a great under $20 Rhone …

Wonderful wine for the price. I only found one bottle at my local Costco. well balanced with fruit and tannin. Beautiful color and smell. Can't expect more for the price $16.

Excellent complexity for the price point. Has all the feel of Languedoc in a drink now sort of fashion. Briar and hint of the sea with soft tannins and delicate fruit (especially for the Grenache).

60% Grenache from 70-75 years old vines, 40% Syrah 40 years old vines. Color is towards dark red. Nose with fruits, kirsch, some plums. Also spicies like cloves or cinnamon. On the palate same fruit structure with kirsch and plums. Its concentrated but also juicy and not heavy. Liked it very much

Weekly tasting group #154; 5 x 2 Red wines (@ The factory by JdB) : The bouquet is very youthful with a lot of primary fruits like raspberries and cherry yoghurt. On the palate ripe berries and cherries, spiciness, good oaky flavors and marzipan. Good acidity and mild tannin. Supple wine with a bit heat in the finish. Try again around 2017. 90+ for today.
