  Pleased and impressed. Cork was still solid. Opened , fought off tasting it, let sit in the bottle and hour & then decanted half hour. Had it with rack of lamb + asparagus. For us still really delicious, a little mellow on the tannins, but the fruit is still shining with smooth really enjoyable berry flavors. Thankful. Cheers everyone

  A friend brought over a bottle that was purchased directly from the winery nine months ago. Claret in color with bricking at the edges, but still a decent grip on the stems. Muted nose. Wine lacked fruit right from the bottle, but after 20 mins Bordeaux flavors and fruit began opening up. Merlots aren’t often described as elegant, but I’d use it right now
  
  Nice treat as we close out a lengthy Easter brunch w friends.
  While I wouldn’t hang on to this, give it a few mins abd don’t be disappointed by your first sip.

  New world, for sure. Clearly high in alcohol from the get-go and 16 years of age didn’t really hide that. Drank extremely hot, not much on the nose besides liquor, dark chocolate, and dark berries. Tannins fairly resolved. But again, hot.

  Fully mature, pleasant but not outstanding. Nice red and black fruit aromas and flavors. Medium-full body. Last bottle.

  Great Merlot. Decanted 1 hour. Smelled wonderful, med-full bodied, flavors were balanced and ended with a dry almost rustic finish. Really enjoyed. Drinking great right now.
