Recommend you lay this down for at least another year or two as its pretty tight. It opened up some after a while so promising. If you drink it now...decant for a couple hours and serve with tannin friendly foods. Treat it as more of a Bordeaux than Merlot. For the price point its a good qpr...just needs a little time to come into its own.

New world Bordeaux, lots of spice. Well balanced. Great alternative for those looking to avoid full tannin bomb Cabernet.
