Although others have rated this wine good to indifferent, I found it to have a full nose, with distinct CdP pepper and rich taste, the color was a bit thin but it finished well. Had it with roast lamb and it held up better than good.

Slightly alcoholic nose and mouth feel. OK balance, medium finish. Didn't really get better after being open for 3 days (vacusealed and stored in the fridge). No more than a 'good' rating.

This wine showed well in a crowd. Very youthful appearance. Some floral notes, and leathery aromas. Held up well over the course of the evening - good value bottle.

Since I was at dinner with my wife, I didn't tale any extended notes, so excuse this "unscientific" TN as I'm writing this out of memory.
Great Stuff. Had it with Antipastos (Grilled Calamari Salad, White Bean Salad), Pork Chop with Apple Compote, and a cheese platter for dinner. Outstandingly versatile wine that really showed well. Super fragrant with a complexity on the nose that surprised me. The balance of this wine was remarkable, especially the fruit was showing nice and sweeter than I expected. Aromas of leather, earth, and pure dark fruit finished off the wine. Super buy.
