April 4, 2021 - My experience was different than the previous reviewer. Opened and let breath over 4 hours. I found this wine supple, fruity and complex even at this young age.

January 5, 2020 - Needs a couple of hours before it opens up. Dark red. Great balance and long lingering taste. More to come!
