This was the second of our three remaining bottles consumed in 2024. The first bottle from earlier this year was only decanted 15-20 minutes and we were slightly disappointed (89 pts). However, we decanted the second bottle during the last round of the Masters this year and it really opened up 3-4 hours in. Decant longer than you normally would and you will be pleasantly surprised by this merlot forward blend at this price point.

90+ currently, still very young. The alcohol is a little unbalanced but see this wine improving over the years. Needs 5+ more years cellar time and then can see it being a 94-95 pt wine.

Young but pleasant. Needs 4-5+ years minimum. Pleasant nose and palette but muted finish.
