Community Tasting Notes 3

Decant it wrote: 89 points
February 27, 2011 - This exceeded my expectations, especially considering some of the reviews I have read. Poured straight from the bottle, although could have been decanted for the sediment. Big fruit and butterscotch balanced from the beginning with very silky soft tannins that lingered on the palate for a long time.

December 28, 2009 - a very good wine but ... meh ... weak aromatics on a Pop n Pour ... lots of black fruit on the palate ... still tannic ... good finish ... a good deal @ 25 a pop, but not @ full retail ... 86+ if I had to give it a number.

September 9, 2009 - Very serviceable merlot. A bit on the lighter side, call it medium bodied. Good overall flavor profile, but the tannins are still strong. Try a decant.
