I'm upping this score from what I normally would rate by a point because it's drinking so damn well. I wanted to sample this magnum with my new Coravin -- but once I started, I can't stop drinking it. I wish I had 4 more magnums. I've been sucking this bottle down, glass by glass for several days and doubt the remainder will make the dinner party I've planned later in the week. Just a nice claret, at or near its peak. No flaws, no guilt. Enjoy.

Tannins have not yet come together. Marked heat, black pepper, dark blue fruit. Low oak, not that typical for a Merlot dominated blend. A good wine but in no way memorable.

Similar to previous tasting note. Blueberries, blackberries, cocoa, basil, some laurel, hint of green pepper. Still holding up fairly well.
