This wine was purchased 7 years ago and hidden away in the cellar and was way off the radar. I prepped for disappointment (given the drinking window) but was pleasantly surprised to find the wine remained vibrant. Went very well with a marinated flank steak. Not surprisingly, it was very well integrated. If you are lucky enough to still have a bottle, drink up!

Honestly, this classic Merlot was truly perfect. Dark plums almost jam like; simple floral that improved with decant. Much better than anticipated and surely worthy with ten years of aging. Am not a Merlot fan, but Duckhorn will convince you that it's worth the Journey.

Fantastic!
Decanted upfront thinking sediment would be an issue. Needed an hour to really shine! Well kept bottle.

Similaire au 2007 bu il y a quelques années,
boisé et simplet, voir trop facile.
Ne m'a pas plu par son manque d'acidité et de fraicheur.
