Coppola 2005 Rosso

This is a blend of 51% Zin, 29% Syrah and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, according to the label. Aside from the ridiculousness of specifying the blend to an accuracy of 1%, this blend also doesn't seem to work. I had a glass of it a couple nights ago, and I'm not thrilled to go back to the bottle. It might be time to make chicken vindaloo!

Update: a few days later I went back to this bottle... and was confused. This time around it seemed much much better, tasty and aromatic to begin with. However, 10 minutes into sipping, it had devolved again. I don't mean it had gone bad in the glass, but rather in my mouth. There's some bizarre chemistry going on with this wine and my palate...
