  So, so boring. Flat, muted nose and taste. Tried decanting for several hours in hopes of finding something there, but nope. It's not bad, just not at all interesting.

  a great Merlot but needs decanting/breathing for a few hours; perfect now but might age nicely for a few more years

  No reason to hold onto this. Drink 'em if you got 'em.

  Society of Wine Educators Mini Conference, Singapore (Holiday Inn): 97% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon.
  Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Long legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of ripe dark cherries, blackberries, plums, mint, and spice. Developing.
  On the palate, medium+ acidity, high alcohol, smooth soft medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavor intensity, with flavours of ripe dark cherries, blackberries, plums, mint, and spice.
  Good quality. Drinking well now, will continue to improve with further ageing, maybe in another 3-4 years.

  Absolutely everything I look for in a Napa Merlot. Bought a few bottles to try in 2016, and again in 2018.
