Smelled like pure burnt charcoal when I opened it. Tasted like overripe plum and strawberries but got considerably smoother after sitting in the decanter for a half hour. Still, a little too young and sassy for me.

Does not taste like a Pinot Noir. Oaky finish that reminds me of a Chardonnay. And I don’t like Chardonnay because of the oakiness.
