Spaghetti night wine

Monday night's wine pales in comparison to Sunday's.  We tried a wine from the central region of Italy called Gran Sasso Montepulciano D'Abruzzo.  It has a dark and I mean dark purple color with a grape juice nose and a hint of oak and vanilla.  It has a decent mouth feel.  Tannin structure is a bit bitter and can really feel it in my jaw.  My first impression is that it's an average wine.  The flavor seems to fall off the more I drink it.  It is a serviceable wine that I would definitely drink again.  I think it's more of an every night wine.  I would rate it a solid 86 points. For it only being $9.99, I would definitely buy it again. 
QOTD:  Should I do a video post?
