First I want to thank Justin Wells …Olympia, Wa. he gave me this great tip on this wine …

dark color deep purple violet ink bright edges

the nose cherry candy smacks you first underneath is some jammy black fruits cinnamon spice this is the first cycle of the bouquet the wine offers

after a few sips and 30 minutes later the wine opened up on the nose with a blast of black tar- licorice with stewed plums and blackberry

the mouthfeel is very mild smooth tannins, soft , slippery, robust and very well balanced fruits dark prunes stewed , blackberry, jammy, hot alc is around 14% in a good way…

a great wine 92 points + - 2 points as this was my first wine in 5 weeks…

this wine had the potential to age for up to 20 years, it’s that well structured

great QPR $ 12.95

I drank a 1999 St Cosme Cotes du Rhone in 2007 and it was still very fresh. I have no doubt that the 2007 could age just as well, if not longer.
