Decanted for an hour. In the glass, the nose was a bit muted with only bright red fruits discernible. On the palate, the wine was fruity and bright, leaning toward overly acidic, acerbic and a little acrid. I'm having a hard time seeing what this will amount to with significant cellaring. As much as I wanted to give this the benefit of the doubt, I couldn't find very many redeeming factors, and eventually I had to just stop sipping and trying. Maybe an off bottle, but in the event that you get the same, pair this with the fattiest dish possible.
