[TheEngineer]

This wine seems to be one of those that illicit the like it or hate it only categories.

I've been in the like it category. Sure its a bit rustic (frankly a lot less than it use to be) and furry (tannic), some seem to not be able to decide whether they want to keep it or just drink it all (thinking that it will not improve any more). I didn't in fact find it a challenging wine but one I look for when I got a leg of lamb in the oven. This was just the perfect foil. The lamb actually brings out a litttle sweetness in the wine, adding a bit of body Plums and cherries, good lush texture, a bit furry but lovelys stuff,
