At home at dinner (spaghetti). Looks rather evolved for a wine so young. Very ripe, perhaps overripe, berry smells are very soft and forward. On the palate, very highly extracted, extremely fruity and ripe. Slightly vegetal/bell pepper on the finish, with bitter tannins at the finish as well. Very unique style. 5-10-14-6: 85/100.

With MPL and BLR at the London Wine Bar at lunch (ham sandwich). Very darkly colored. Dense, fruit-packed nose. Mouth-filling, intense, with high extract. Huge wine; quite amazing for a Merlot. 4-10-14-7: 85/100.
