Opened and decanted for approx 2 hours. In the beginning, was a bit acidic with a tough aftertaste. Then, over more time, opened up and became more integrated between the acids and tannins. Ended up a nice wine, fruit forward with a nice medium finish

Consumed over 2 evenings. Soft structure even in it's youth. Served up a bit of orange peel for the nose first night which added a nice complexity. Was pretty much one dimensional one the 2nd evening. Not a wine to age very long.

Splash decanted and served immediately. Nice cherry fruit, tobacco and earth. A little dusty tannin on the finish, but quite a nice wine.
