Drank with Barry and Sallie. Off putting effervescence. Popped open a different bottle because I wouldn't drink it.
By the time we came home from dinner it was done with all the ugliness and turning into a pretty decent wine. I should know better than to pop and pour. Shame on me!

Decanted for 2 1/2 hours and it was just beginning to tease with what it has to offer. Give it 5 or 6 hours if you can. Tannic to start but largely resolved by hour 3. A wine that will not require explanation for the non-winos who are lucky enough to share it with you (frequently a consideration for me). They'll love it, they just won't deconstruct it to tell you why.
