Extra thoughts? I need another round to get a better understanding of this one.

Other reviews:

From the Vintage Cellar:

“Wine Advocate gave it 87 points.
From a 140+ acre estate near the well-known Cotes du Rhone village of Pont Sait Esprit emerges this juicy Cotes du Rhone, a blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre. Well-made, with loads of berry fruit and a heady, meaty peppery nose with a hint of Provencal herbs, the wine is fresh, lively, and best drunk over the next 2 years.”

My rating scale works as such:
1. Never Again
2. If someone else bought it
3. I'd keep it in mind
4. At least one more time
5. Going to get another bottle right NOW!
