Decanted for 1 hour and rebottled. Lots of blueberry and smoke on the nose along with a little oak. Intense attack of ripe blue and red fruits including black cherry, blueberry and plum. Quite full bodied but retains and smooth, silky mouthfeel. No fall off in intensity as the wine transitions to the mid palate where there are notes of roasted coffee and chocolate. 30 second finish with moderate tannins. This is a very good Merlot but will probably make more appeal to Cab drinkers with its' full throttle style. Pretty good QPR at $35.

Needs air time or more time in the cellar. Opened up nicely after a few hours in the bottle. Decant would have helped too.
