Popped and let sit in glass for about 45 minutes before drinking. This wine needs time to breath. After some air, this becomes much more balanced with a solid fruit core and the acidity a bit more in check. Preserved half the bottle with a vacu-vin pump and drank the rest two days later, and I think this was actually drinking even better. Very good value wine.

Tannins are a bit overbearing, but it does settle down with air time as others have noted. Outside of the bitter tannins most noticeable on the finish, a fairly nice wine for $11.

Give it some air to mellow out the tannins, and its a nice value wine, with good fruit
