Had with a new risotto recipe Mrs. TJ and I gave a test run on. Onion & bacon risotto -- who could go wrong with that? Not us!

This wine was even better than the 97. Medium dark color, with decent, but not ultra-thick legs. A nose of spiced plum, following into the glass went that flavor along with some brambly fruits of a darker sort with decent tannins offset by a proper amount of acidity. A terrific food wine, this matched really well with the risotto (which was one that called for a red wine).

I'd give this 90 TJ points. I expected a mid to upper 80's pointer when we popped this, but I was very happy to have such a nice wine for so cheap.
