The last bottle was better showing more depth, this was closed for business. With notes of currants, licorice, spice and garrigue, the palate was limited as the finish was clipped, but good acidity helped keep things fresh.

Old world delivers. Still powerful for a 2010 that requires 4-5h to open up. Lime stone, flint leather notes with delicate red fuit and dried prunes. Very nice.

Excellent QPR. Plenty of garrigue, Provençal herbs, cherry. Fairly long finish.

In a really good place. Plummy fruit and a layer of garrigue. Soft acids, long finish and outstanding QPR at the $27 I spent a long time ago!

This was better than the much more expensive 2007 Halos de Jupiter.
