Pop and pour, drank about half the bottle over 2.5 hours. This either needs to integrate or its a style that doesn't match my palate exactly. The tannins started out high and relaxed substantially with time. From the beginning, tons of strawberry fruit and oaky vanilla. Not quite enough acid or body. I can see many Americans liking this in-your-face fruit, but the structure is lacking.
Pop and pour.Another bottle that didn't meet my expectation. There's some elegant nuance on the nose and it started out with some firm tannin that relaxed over the 2 hours that we drank it. Overall muted.
