Wanning Christmas Eve offering with standing prime rib roast. Underwhelmed for the price ($49.99 at Total Wine in Bloomington), but held up well to the meat. Wasn't as earthy on the nose and front pallet as I hoped with a nice ChduP. Decanted for two hours prior to consumption. Had some strong elements, but overall disappointing for a special dinner wine.

It balanced out after sitting in the glass for 10 minutes. Heavier tannins than other wines I've had from the region. Not a bad wine at all.
