Tight n a bit bitter on initial open. Let it breath for 1.5-2hrs and the sweet floral notes come through and the wine really blends. Also good as it comes up to room temp while it breathes

Opens with the need to decant and come together. Snuck a taste; can tell there is complexity but it has not blended well at all, most notably the heat of alcohol up front smell/taste. Awesome change over 2 hours but is still not appealing. Becomes a whole other animal after minimum 4 hours decanting.
