Second magnum and both similar experiences. As noted by others, give it some air and it sings. Great QPR and crowd pleaser, that goes well with a variety of foods.

Best of the 4 bottles purchased. Drank the others too early. The tart/bitterness is gone and the red fruits shined on day one. This wine needed a few years of bottle age to develop and integrate. Better on day one. Solid.

Magnum. Opened 3 hours prior to serving and drank over the course of a few additional hours. Crowd pleaser. Well interstates wine with a long finish. Great balance of fruit and acidity. It gained depth as more time went by. Would purchase again.
