Was worried I'd let this sit too long, but all it needed was some time and aeration. let sit for 20 mins... first few sips had me thinking it had begun to turn. But some swirling and the fruity smells were coming through. Tastes of black currant, leather, cherry starting coming through. Over the course of 3 hours, it kept improving. Look forward to enjoying the 2 bottles I have remaining.

First taste was "drinkable" but not outstanding. From there it went downhill. An hour later, it was just tolerable. It was not a spoiled bottle; I have had too many of those over the years. Just not decent wine.

Greeted with noticeable, pleasing bouquet. Very smooth, balanced. Remarkable after taste. Good value for an inexpensive wine.
