Nice. Perfect match for a hearty pasta dish like spaghetti and meatballs. A little red fruit mixed with great earthy and leathery undertones on the nose and palate. The acidity mixes well with tomato-based food, and I can see having this with pizza as well. Medium finish, with a nice mouth feel all the way through. Great value.

The 2005 is excellent as well. It goes great with Vegetarian pasta, no need for meatballs! Make sure to add some to the sauce.
