Saturday, September 30, 2017 - Sat, 9/30/17, $2 Tasting (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): 100% Merlot; 14.5% ABV
N: PERFUMED berries, FLOWERS, & a distinct earthiness with undertones of pyrazines
P: Med, poss LM, body; Almost swtish frt nicely balanced by a very, VERY slight pucker which slowly, fairly seamlessly, only somewhat resolves by the LONG, slightly bitterswt finish. Deserves another 6 mos or so, then drinking thru '19. VERY nice QPR @ this vendor's $10.95, which is > 27% less than the next lowest on wine-searcher!
