  Definitely needs air when first opened. Stron tart cherry acid resolves with aeration. After
  Some time tannins show up and then also resolve into a pleasant wine.

  Decanted to find no sediment. Gave it 2 round trips through an aerating decanter. Result is an enjoyable wine. Overall balance is good with just a slight edge to the tannins. Went well with turkey thighs roasted with BBQ sauce. A good wine for the price!

  Some funk on the nose. Tart red cherry, bitter herbs, wood, tobacco. Improved with air but still angular, hot and thin. Modest upside but ultimately disappointing.

  Cherry, strawberry, and a hint of celery. Tasty and very drinkable. Give a little time for it to open up.
