Very personal and special story behind this bottle. Opened the day of Iran’s attack on Israel. The merlot is only a plurality of the blend but’s predominant in the wine. Aromas include dark cherry, black plum, licorice, and dried thyme. Medium bodied and fully resolved structurally: the tannin and acid are both modest in temperament and integrated. Flavors have a slightly salty tinge to them, and include black cherry juice, black currant, dried blueberry, baking spice, black pepper, cinnamon, and tar. This doesn’t show much spark or sweetness on the fruit, and I think it’s time to drink this up asap.

Popped and poured, drank with friends, no formal notes. Classic gamey-meaty profile. The fruit is definitely secondary savory notes in the profile, but it's holding on. Full bodied, soft palate. Fully developed and probably heading towards the start of its decline. Tasty now and suggest drinking up within the next 6-12 months.

The nose is quite bright, featuring aromas of buttered country white bread, flint, Key Lime pie, honey dew, and yuzu. Full bodied, it has significant mineral-driven acid that balances a nice fleshy, broad mouthfeel. The acid leads with slate and flint that transitions into flavors of yuzu, tangerine, salted kettle corn, oyster shell, and banana peel. Less primary than when I had this a number of years ago, the acid and minerality are more pronounced as the baby fat has been shed. This comes into balance real nicely with two hours of air. I wouldn’t call it better or worse, just different. This will have another couple of years left before it begins to decline, I believe. Recommend decanting.
