I only had 30 minutes to follow this wine upon opening. It had that gamay bubble gum, unscented candle wax, and alcohol on the nose. Palate also had too much heat. I disliked it for the 30 minutes, but who knows - perhaps, it'd have rocked my world if I let it open for 2 hours? Hard to imagine, but wine oftens does weird tricks on ya.

had higher hopes than this for the wine- bright fruit as expected in the red fruit theme but it was all over the place -the front attack is the only thing which saved this wine for me other than that I even found it hot at 13.5% alcohol- after it sat in the glass for a while it seemed to soften a bit but still there was this choppy feel to the wine-
