  Just like last time -- maybe even better. Great nose. Good fruit --cherry, raspberry, earth & some vanilla, too.
  We had it with a roast pork tenderloin in a spice rub (paprika, cumin, sage, oregano, garlic, mustard, pepper, salt): a perfect match.
  Too bad that was our last bottle ... :(

  What a beautiful wine! It is so much better now, than in 2006, after having put on a couple of years of age. Beautiful nose. Lovely fruit flavors--cherries, some raspberry, earth and a touch of vanilla on the end. Complex and beautiful. Even better with our seared tuna, which enhanced the earth notes. This was a great buy ... particularly for our $21 purchase price. Looking forward to our 1 remaining bottle.

  Cherries, raspberries, and tobacco on the nose. Earthy cherry flavor with vanilla and good acidity Plum, licorice, and black cherries on the finish. Sweet tannins. Very nice PN. 92+.

  I loved this wine again. It was like an old aged burgundy. I wish I had a case. Upon the first sip I tought it had started to die off but then it came from no where to become deep complex and nuanced. Great job. It is a light ruby with just a tinge of brown. Very translucent. Cola, cherries and red raspberries to taste. These are the only bottles of Campion I have ever tasted but will pick them up along the way if I can find them for a good price. I wish I knew what the clones were because it is definitely my style. I get the same from the Stoller PN.

  Had at 11-person Tara/Donna dinner. Good but my palate was fatigued. Had with seared tuna with crispy wonton wrappers with wasabi cream, struggled with this pairing but it worked out ok.
