2005 Don Rodolfo vina Cornejo Costas

I think I gave this bottle an extra point or two b/c it was so cheap. Not bad, can do worse for 8.99. Not as full bodied as I'd hoped. Interesting hints of spice and chocolate, kind of vegetal nose.

Great Nose. Not impressive flavor, serviceable Pinot Noir. Light color, mouthfeel, and flavor.

Not at all exciting. Nose seemed like old floral, vegetative, laundry. Off balance acidity, very dry, bitter finish.

Great body and mouth feel. Dark black fruit on the nose, kind of hot alcohol on the pallet, could have used some decanting, but...great Zin!

Very tight on the nose, sharp acidity. Was better after 24 hours, but not great depth of flavor.

Good solid wine for the price. Much better after 24 hours decanting. Earthy, smoky, light on the fruit.

lots of sugar, cotton candy, strawberries, didn't get much on the oak or tannins. Way too sweet for me.
