A pale ruby and garnet. Leather tobacco mint baking spice. Fantastic fruit vanilla fresh laid tar mint and toasted oak stewed strawberry in the nose. Lovely milky mouthfeel with silky but solid tannin. Black tea blackberry very dry for the age and great fruit flavors of black plum. Strawberry jam comes out with mint leaves cacao and black tea. Absolutely amazing merlot

A pretty beefy merlot. Dry style but with nice fruit tobacco and spices. Worked well bbq ribs. Not sure if this will get any better but it will certainly hold for many more years.

Ripe fruit. The complexity I love from unfiltered wine. Opens nicely over the 2 hours of drinking. Slight tobacco and leather on the nose. Cassis and licorice on the back of the tongue.

Similar to previous bottle in terms of flavors but this bottle came across very plump and soft on the palate this time. I'm not sure if the wine is already fading fast or the structure felt soft due to being drank after a bigger cab.
