Decanted about an hour before drinking. Nice nose, but the acidic back end was almost harsh, with no tannins to balance it out so don't think time would be the cure. It's ok, nice fruit, but just can't get past the acid

becoming a big fan of rhone style blends. Popped and poured, nice nose, bright fruit in the beginning, then the acid takes over a bit and may overwhelm it a little. Nice long finish, so perhaps a little more time in the bottle would do it wonders.

Aciditic and tense on the back end. Great nose, high strung palate.
