Even after a quick pop 'n' runthrough a Vinturi aerator, tasted far too much effervescence initially and was better on the nose than on the palate. Residual sugars on bottom served as visual indicators of same. Once it mellowed and aired out a bit - 30 min. plus - started coming into its own with notes of chocolate, raspberry, and cherry. Would like to try again without initial complications.
