Due to these factors I was actually surprised to find out that the wine is aged in stainless steel. You may want to decant this if you plan to drink the entire bottle with a single meal. If there is a bit left over, you will be delighted to find that it becomes much more supple. The smoky note fades and the fruit has a cooked quality that provides a lovely after dinner treat.
