Had this bottle with Lou Malnatis deep dish pizza. I decanted it 10 minutes before drinking but it could have used a longer decant. It took some time for initial funk to blow off and start opening up. The final sips were the best. On the palate the texture was really nice as the tannins were silky. There was good acidity and good quality fruit started showing nicely. This could have been better with a longer decant before being served.

A rich, soft wine with a mix of cherry and black plum. Low on tannins so the finish is a little short.
