I'm sorry to let the last two reviewers know that they were almost ten years too early for this. I popped it and let it breathe for about 30 minutes and it was wonderful. Deep cherry red in the center with a light crimson rim. Nose of dark fruits, dense on the palate with assertive but not aggressive tannins. It is full bodied but not heavy. Although it feels savory at first, there is some sweetness at the core, acid is medium and finish is long. Classic NSG. This can develop at least for five years and will probably last fifteen. Great effort. Glad I waited!
