Box Stallion, Tempranillo 2005, Mornington Peninsula ($45)

Was good robust stuff when tasted at the winery and was better again from the bottle at home.  Not needing airing time it quaffed well, and took to our chorizo based meal nicely too.  The robust tannins that came through at the winery were less prevalent.  Not so strong on the nose but some plum and chocolate action when imbibbing.  $45 is a steep price - I felt this would have been a good $30 buy, but I'll stop there before I go onto my traditional rant of Mornington Peninsula wines being generally overpriced.  Damn!  Just said it!
