Very much so. It needs opening and warming. It isn't oaky and at first seems a bit on the light side. It isn't a merlot or rioja, but it has some subtle style about it. But when I opened the second which was warmer I really liked it. It's poor value at the (I think) 13 or so but at half price it's really great. You need to check it's still on offer.
Let me know how you get on.
ps just checked and still on offer - I've added another 20 to my next order. I've read a negative review which says it's rough and tannic - but I'd say the absolute opposite.

Meal: Dinner
Pork escalopes (using Kellogs Rice Crispies instead of bread for the crumb coating), celeriac mash and Bud Lite. Followed by the leftovers of a afternoon baked plum sponge with creme faiche (sweetened with a little icing sugar and some freshly squeezed lemon juice)

PS (trying not to hijack this excellent thread) Thanks UK1 - the Freybernat sounds just the ticket! Will help myself to some of that!

never thought of a rice crispie coating. Do you, blitz it down to a finer consistency? And frying in what?
Hope you enjoy the wine.

Very odd split level lunch today.
Lebeknoedel soup - I wanted to see if I could make the balls ..... I could and she told me that my balls were wonderful.
...... followed some time later by
Cod fish cakes with parsely sauce and peas and some sauvignon.
ps glad you liked the rib-eye. We do need more photographs on the thread to generate some salivation .......
