PnP and drunk on its own, which were both mistakes. The initial tannins were intense, although towards the end of the first glass things got pretty nice. Was much better the next day, and even better with food. Light raspberry notes, but not fruity by any means. Wouldn't be surprised if this has some aging potential, although I worry that there isn't enough fruit to maintain brightness.
Edit: just had this on the third day and it was delicious. Will definitely have to decant next time. Tannins subsided and the fruit came to the fore.

The label said "ready to drink young" so I did! Bone dry, pronounced flavors of red cherries, and some hints of rose petals. I do think that this does have some aging potential.

Decanted 2 hours; should have been longer. Will try 3 next time.

Cherries, wood, roses and Violet. Great acidity and quite quaffable. Nice!
