Yesterday we had dinner at a friend's house and she made a pork tenderloin and rosemary polenta. It was delicious. Before the meal we had a meal of appetizer of brie and manchego cheeses along with crackers and some fig jam. We also sampled some of Cycles Gladiator 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon.

Reviewer #1: I almost spit this wine out as soon as a tasted it. It wasn't the worst wine I have ever tasted but it was extremely strong and oaky. I was glad that I hadn't poured a whole glass to suffer through.
Reviewer #2: I like a good robust red wine on occasion. But the Gladiator Cabernet Sauvignon was a bit too much. It was overly strong and overly oaky. It tasted like it had been aged in old oak whiskey barrels. And I mean that in a bad way. But I don't like Cabernet Sauvignon to begin with.
