Round, plummy and earthy. Tannins have resolved nicely; holding up quite well, if perhaps lacking a bit of depth. Quite enjoyable and very much a surprise to be alive at 22 years of age. The fruits seemed to have receded at bit on day two, with the tannins taking on a harsher, astringent quality.

Dark red, powerful nose, a bit acidic than expected for a 12 year old Merlot dominalted blend.

Almost wine it was indeed. Almost really good but just did not make it. Lacking fruit, depth and finish. Nose was charming and offered more.

Slow going here, not much evolution, hanging in there despite 81% merlot, give this some time
