Needed time to open. Once it opened the favor really popped. Good but not overwhelming good.

Excellent with a filet, frites and crab leg.
As with all L’Ecole wines, we decanted for about an hour.As Merlot goes, this one is pretty good. Fairly full with rounded flavors. A little thin on the finish with a tad funky taste on the back end.
Better than last bottle.
Very nice merlot. Full, deep flavors of dark fruit. Balanced tannins and acid. Time to drink. Do not wait much longer.
Minimal fruit and finish
Nice with seafood pasta.
Very nice Merlot, rich, dark fruit, young but well balanced. Should cellar for another 5 to 10 years.
Ripe red fruits, cherry, strawberry, raspberry. Some fig, oak, vanilla, coffee, coco. Grippy tannin, not huge depth.
Good fruit forward. A little rough with alcohol. Very good wine for the price and I'm not longing for any thing more.
(see all 30 vintages)
