Just after opening, this looked really bleak: weak nose, with a faint raspberry flavour and alcohol. Diluted palate, almost watery. With air time it blossomed and took on a nice cherry aroma and a juicy feel. Dramatic improvement with air time, although it remains a basic drink. Very little tannin at this stage. Time to drink up I guess. My rating after opening: 78. After aeration: 84.

- Garnet color with fast forming legs. It's somewhat balanced with a medium body. Narrow texture with a short finish - Opened and decanted 2 hours before dinner.
