P&P at a restaurant. Fantastic wine and typical Del Dotto style of wine; big and opulent. Big nose of smoked pepper and very dark fruit. Extremely dark in color. Well structured and put together wine. Fruit and spicy on the palate with a nice finish. Went very well with the wild game dinner it was paired with.

A couple of friends brought a bottle to dinner with french cuisine. This followed a '96 Heitz Martha's Vineyard cab. Perfect as a second bottle. Easily went down as dinner wound down. Dark, fruity, smooth, just in a perfect place. Not sweet or jammy. Perfect if understated syrah spiciness. Lush, like velvet. I can only imagine the lower scores were attributed to an earlier version of this wine because right now, it's pretty darn good!
