21 year old California Merlot that has greatly improved with its years. PnP showed complex aromas and palate, balanced acidic lift. Tannins are in a good place. Fig, candy cherry, bay leaf, cinnamon. Sad to say it was my last bottle. Drink now to 2020.

Great Nose with mixed herbs, fruit and some kind of petroleum perfume and anise. Taste is predominantly currants and blueberry-maybe a little lemon citrus note near the finish. Gift from John and Cindy
