Popped, decanted, and poured. Good deep color, almost opaque. Not much on the nose, I tried to find some red fruit and it was finally there. On the palate, a disappointment. Not much going on at all. By the end of the bottle, it had opened some, but I just do not think there is much there to begin with.

Solid, balanced middleweight in a Burgundian vein - cherries, tea and earth backed by still vibrant acidity and soft but slightly drying tannins. Seemed to be fading a bit and it definitely declined on night 2. Don't think this is really going anywhere; finish up now while it is still a very nice drink.

Had with greek lamb and chicken dishes. Light bodied, old-world styled, good acidity. Not opulent, but a nice food wine. Some "forest" and sour cherry aromas, with similar flavors.

Drinking great right now although I wouldn't push it much further. Very smooth and enjoyable cherry and light strawberry flavors. Soft tannins.
