Very nice nose, red cherry and cinnamint gum notes. This is fairly tight and acidic, even after 2 hours in the glass, with tart dusty tannins on a moderate finish. A surprisingly soft mouthfeel despite the acidity. I wanted to like this more, and it showed better w a charred burger, but it doesn’t offer much charm or pleasure tonight., beyond slightly underripe red fruit. Two days open, this was rounder, more lush, less acidic. Def needs a year or two in bottle, or at least a four hour decant if you drink it sooner.
