Did a taste test with and without a wine aerator. For the most part, couldn't taste the difference. Points off for too much heat. Nose of cigars and almost sour berries in the midpalate. Smooth and almost silky. Needs a bit for body. Hint of tannins/

Started really well - very fruity without being overly sweet. Smooth with a touch of heat. Halway through the meal the wine fell apart. Tight. Lost its fruit. Improved by the end of the meal but never recovered its initial qualiies. Drink fast. Don't let it air.
