On a pop in pour, not really any heat, nose is great very fruity and flowery, love the nose. It is dark ruby red with purple on the edges. Taste initially a bit of blueberries and dark fruit, not a lot of tannins but has some acidity midway through that would pair better with food then by itself.

Would agree with what many others stated. It is a bit hot and should improve after at least a year in the bottle. So I'm going to let mine sit until next year before I drink another one.

First off purchased this because it had Nebbiolo and was not too expensive. Nebbiolo 41% Barbera 32% Merlot 27%. Deep red in color. After a pop and pour into my glass get a little alcohol heat and dark black cherries, raspberries and maybe a bit of dark chocolate on the nose. Taste is dark fruits. It has pretty high acidity and would pair well with red sauces and red meat or spicy food. Some tannins at the back but still retains a lot of fruit. In the mouth very fruity, tail end is slight tannin that quickly fades away.
After Decanting for 30 Mins:
Alcohol heat is gone. Nose is mostly crushed Raspberries. Taste Smooth and fruity but still more thin than I would have liked. Great with food to counter acidity, only so so by itself.
After Decanting 60 Mins:
About the same as after 30. I will update on second day.
