Garnet color. The bouquet is initially very strange- butter and squash notes, turning to asparagus with red fruit lurking underneath. Medium-bodied with a bit of red fruit but also very weedy and vegetal. I guessed old Cab Franc.

Well mannered, no rough edges. Very drinkable. A nice, safe merlot.

No nose and tasted flat. After an hour, it opened up a bit, but still a disappointment.

I agree - this wine is on the downslope of quality.
Thin on body, structure and complexity. Like drinking cool aide without the sugar.

Disappointing wine. Astringent, heavy fruit. I think it's too old.
