Needs several hours to open up. Initial nose gave me the impression that it was corked, it probably was, but after three hours, the wine gained considerable weight as was drinking very well.

Popped and poured and consumed over a 3 hour period, put half back in the wine fridge for the next day. That's when it really opened up and shined. The wine needed a good 24 hours to fill our, it gained weight with better balance between fruit and tannins. Big difference. Try decanting longer on day 1 next time.

This just didn’t work for me. I think it’s in a dumb phase and I need to try another bottle shortly. Other people have reported much more positive tastings, so I’ll give it another try. Closed, harsh and austere. I never opened nor came around even after four hours of time.

No tasting note, this bottle is certainly coming around and improving.
