If only all merlot based wines were this interesting. It's showing unbelievably and in a perfect place right now.
Merlot, cab and sangiovese blend gives this a richness and nose of black fruit up front. But due to bottle age it's now a little reduced and giving off more herbs mixed with a slight hint of Port. Not flabby because of decent amount of remaining acidity.
45 minutes of air is all it needs. Make sure you filter as it throws a ton of sediment.
Lovely with the easygoing beefiness of prime rib as dry aged beef would overpower it.

Drinking well. Rich, complex earthy notes mixing with red and black fruit. Moderate acidity and some tannins. Enjoyable by itself as well as with NY strip. Enjoyed by everyone at my table with a mix of palates. Lovely.

Nicely mellowed, bordering on mature but still alive for sure , dark cherry, tobacco, licorice. Very smooth and pleasant, bit hard to place in terms of origin.
