When I bought this ten years ago I kept wanting this to blossom knit something great. It was muted then and was muted when I drank it this evening. We event decanted it for an hour and put it aside mid bottle in favor of other things. Too bad.

Served blind Bright juicy red and dark fruit, but fairly grapey still. I was sure this was a Cali Merlot, but no. Very pleasant and easy to enjoy. I think this will last a fair amount longer than the suggested 2013 - 2017 window suggested above, but I don’t necessarily see an upside to waiting

Muted fruit and some tobacco flavor/aroma, color was turning brown. Drinkable but not very good.

Improved after the first hour as it put on some weight and relaxed. Nose is a bit muted.

Taste much like grand crus. Deep mouthful of dark berries, leather, fern. Long finish. Nice complexity. Exceptional value.
