It is a good wine but did not show as well as some of the others in this tasting. Cheers! Nigel,

It's great with a cheese board. interesting to see your ratings on the wines above, Im particularly fond of the 2004 Lan Reserva and quite surprised you only gave it 3/5 for quality.

Fortunately, it wasn't the Pesquera that was corked so hopefully your bottles will be good. As for the jalapeno aroma, I thought it was a good thing. It seemed to be a bit vegetal but also spicy which is why I noted jalapeno instead of bell peppers. Cheers! Eric,

I, too, found it quite interesting that the two lowest priced wines finished at the bottom. That is certainly not always the case, particularly in blind tastings. Cheers! mrzitro,
