Quite good. Still tight after 9 years, but once it sat, was a quite complex delicious merlot. Very earthy, as it should be. Strong minerals just an all around good wine.

Sturdy: plenty of tannin and a good dose of oak. Decent finish. Good weeknight pairing with burgers or grilled food. I'm going to sit on my remaining bottles for another 2 years or so, see if it softens.

Purple that shows a bit of crimson in the light. Spice, stems, and cola on the nose. Medium bodied, blackberries, tart cherries, a bamboo curtain of tannins, tobacco, dark chocolate, and a medium-long really dry finish. I should have run this through the vinturi.

good for a malbec (i'm not a huge fan but decided to try this). smooth, without much grip. comes through with taste of roasted game that's quite dry on the finish (my favorite part of this wine). i like it better on day 2, though cooking wine territory by day 3.

Dark cherry and tart raspberry with a subtle earthiness. Medium body and easy to drink. Dry tannins.
