  Quick note. Decanted up to 4 hours and paired with pizzas with neighbors. Dry cherry notes, very restrained, with some smoke and tar. Fair to Good.

  Opened not decanted. Dry and tight. Takes 15-20 minutes of air to open. Dry cherry, some smoke, leather and some dried fruit notes. Starts with harsh tannins that soften. Would be better with food. Consumed without. Fair.

  I must have been in a foul mood when I first tasted this wine or maybe some post COVID loss of taste. You might want to disregard my first tasting note. Not much on the nose. It is really a very nice wine for the price. Lots of Cherry up front with a nice balance of tannins and acid. My wife and I enjoyed this bottle.
