Very smooth medium bodied with hints of cherry and chocolate
It was well balanced and starting to fade, but the nose and flavor were pleasant and drank smooth, even on the second day.
not much nose, but good flavor, and smooth like to good Merlot.
No tanins or acid. This wine is at its peak now. Not as good as we experienced it in 2001. This wine was not worth holding on to this long. Wine was stored at 55 degrees and 80% humidity.
Think we got this at the right time. Had with good strip steaks and thought it was a nice round merlot.
A bit ordinary. Not much to talk about. A rather ordinary Merlot.
This may be past its prime. Just simple red fruit and oakiness. Not much to talk about. Slightly acidic and clipped finish.
had with spicy lasagna so hard to tastesort of thin in the middle, a bit hot on finish.
