Very tart, but becomes more subdued as you drink along with a cheese board. There is a nice flavor there, but it is in the background; almost an afterthought. You can pick it up more strongly in the finish.

Drank this in the afternoon with Welsh cheddar (Red Storm) with which the wine married perfectly. There was--contrary to earlier tastings--considerable depth amid berry and earthy flavors. Stunningly better than earlier bottles of the same wine.

I was hoping that after a little more time in the cellar, this wine would show some improvement. I even drank it over the course of three days to see if that would help it show some noble colors. Regrettably, it's price proved a good indicator of its potential. I wouldn't serve this to guests.
