Started opening up after 45 minutes, but not by much... nose is raisiny, while the palate is terribly understated, with very light notes of sweet cherry and dust, and medium+ tannins... medium-full, with a dry finish that preserves just a faint hint of raisin notes... started turning a bit hot 75 minutes in... would be great with a fatty steak. 14.7% ABV. 87-88

Not a whole lot here. A "fine" wine, but without a distinctive pallet of any kind. Decanted, and after an hour, very modestly improved. About what I would expect from a $8-10 wine. Too bad this was a $25 wine.

Again, got better as it opened. I will wait awhile before opening another bottle.

Got better as it opened up. This could probably use more time in the bottle.
