Tasted good, but the sauce just got too thick to really amount to much. It tasted good, but I think the sauce should really just cook off the alcohol and then reduce to just thicker than an aus ju. The garlic just makes it too thick after reducing the wine to syrup. -
I thought I'd love it because I really like garlic, but I wasn't crazy about it. Too much wine in the sauce (and I used decent cabernet that I actually drink)and not enough other seasoning. I could barely taste the garlic for all the wine. Maybe balancing out the wine with some broth would have been better, but I still won't make it again.
