Two year vertical with 2007 served after. Pretty darn dark in my glass. A ruby at midnight. Clear with a 5 mm even penetration into a soft but still sound cork. Decanted off of gritty sediment.
Reserved bouquet of dark plum, cocoa, vanilla and tobacco.
Lightweight body and quite resolved tannins revealing dried blueberry, plum, a fair amount of earth and gravel over tertiary notes.
Finish is acidic but not obnoxious. Alcohol is well in check.
Overall a very serviceable Merlot. Drink now.

Nice evolution - clear youthful dark ruby - ready nose of sour cherries along with coffee, cacoa, charcoal - tart and velvety

Tasting quite acidic. Needed at least 1hr decant and never really came around.

Decant for an hour or even overnight. Dried herb notes, tobacco, dark chocolate, and black fruits
