This wine is still well within its drink-by date. We did aerate it before drinking as the cork broke and we thought some had fallen into the wine. It did not and the wine was very good.

Drank at the end of 2016, did not have the flavors or depth expected, a bit long in the tooth. Much better uses for the Money from Newton or elsewhere .

not a blockbuster is any one dimension but nice overall, especially on second day when it softened. A bit tight on day one but deep fruit and obvious backbone of tannins and acid add tension. Softened and integrated over time. Nose was not giving much initially but got more floral with time. Favors were typical for Napa merlot.

Lots of good merlot specific things going on but the tannins are very coarse on the finish. Didn't improve over two days.
