It is a little more bold than one would expect from a blend that is 70% merlot. The nose definitely has red fruit tones that have then dried and are more concentrated. There is also a hint of subtle flower and wet stone. On the tongue the fruit seems darker like boysenberry, a little blueberry and aged plum. The texture perfectly coats your mouth with wine each sip. In fact the texture is why it is a 92 not a 91.

Has definitely improved with a little more age. Will let the rest of my bottles sit for a few more years. Balance is better and fruit is more developed. Nice acidity and no bite.

Drinking well, still needs 60 to 90 minute decant. Great right bank style Merlot blend.

Nice sized mouth feel with a touch of cherry. Nicely balanced tannins and a tasty finish. Really fun stuff...
I fortunately have a few more bottles that I will keep down for five more years.
