Wow, have not had for several years. Popped and poured, initially it was way too jammy and I thought I had waited too long, but no, wait an hour, let warm from the cellar and breath a little and it was outstanding. Still very fruit forward, but the acidity and the touch of oak came through to add complexity and a long finish. My wife who has never thought much of this really enjoyed it. Alas, only 1 bottle left.

Soft, going a little flat. Drink up.
