After opening, toasty oak was prominent with some coconut notes -- very uninspiring. After letting sit overnight at room temp, the oak fell into the background and some interesting herbal flavors showed their presence. The nose was almost nonexistent, though.

Dark garnet color, quiet nose. Fruity, less complex than expected for a meritage. Decent QPR.

Promising, subtle bouquet. Disappointing, sad mid.
Nasty, dry tannic finish

Lovely relaxed wine that benefits greatly after airing. Would enjoy again.

Not bad for an everyday drinker but a short finish and a hollow mid-pallet.
