Fizzy on open. Decanted and let sit for 30 minutes. Still a little fizzy, but that dissipated in the glass while drinking. Good fruit and nice round flavor. A little hot for my preference.

Opened our last magnum for New Year's Eve. Still good brambly fruits and a touch of pepper/spice. We didn't decant, just let it breath in the bottle for 10-15 minutes but we drank is slowly over the course of dinner etc. Not too much sediment either - didn't need a filter and we drank to the last half inch or so.

This wine was awesome. Dark ruby color. Fabulous nose of dark red fruits. Long finish with cherry and red berries and a bit of pepper. Wow

Well balanced, but bigger than my tastes prefer.
