Crisp bubbly. Good acidity to go with a creamy dish for dinner. Smelled wonderful as well.

Decanted for an hour. Big fruit and some tar on the nose, got a little alcohol wiff too. Dark red fruit with a smooth finish until the booziness kicks in. Much better on the second day when everything calmed down and became more integrated.
