I let it breath for 40 minutes in a decanter. The first few sips were strong and not necessarily pleasant. It did open up though as I swirled and took my time drinking. Another 40 minutes decanting would do it well. With this in mind a good wine for parties and other events where wine is not the focus or people are not conneisseurs.

Strong scent of fresh tar on the nose with muted fruit. Second night, the tar was gone, replaced by black fruit and little oak.
