nearly a year has done wonders to this wine for me, maybe its just bottle variation but with a couple hours open then a short decant this wine goes from a very light and thin wine to one of nice substance and more complex flavors, some sous bois and generally deeper mouthfeel. Liking a lot now.

I was really looking forward to this, but something was off, and it wasn't clear what was wrong. I brought it from the winery, so it wasn't cooked at any time, so perhaps it was slightly corked. Acidic with a nasty, bacterial-ish finish. Tried it over two days and it was worse the second day and became oxidized very quickly.

1 hr plus decant, this showed more blue fruits than red, little depth and short finish. Certainiy no complexity or showing an aged character or the beginning of one. Got a few more, can only hope age can bring this around.

Unbelievable value. Better than many much more expensive wines after waiting 10 years. Love the very low alcohol!!
