Upon opening this is sweet on the aromatics with notes of strawberries and smells of a winery. The flavors are sweet and round and powerful. With a little more air we get darker and deeper flavors entering the mix with some spicy notes and a more complex profile. The longer it was open, the more I liked it, as the secondary flavors made this a tasty bottle. Definitely new world, clean and not over the top. This aged nicely. A short decant recommended for max expression.

Beautiful sweet red fruit mint & smoke and sous bois leap out -the flavor is full and silky, rich yet there is enough acidity to balance it all out. This is lush & yummy not much complexity of the palate or finish but a hedonistic drink at a great point of it's life.
