Emirates lounge, bottle might have been opened for a while. Dark garnet with translucent rim. Round and fairly rich fruit but lacks ultimately concentration and depth, clearly a Merlot dominated wine, a touch of tobacco, fine but drying tannins. Short. Ok but not more
PS: just checked on the price of this wine and the qpr is really not good...

92% Merlot, 8% Franc. Big, rich and beautiful stuff. With some structure. I think just opened, not much back structure which given the stuffing in the mid palate I would guess it just needs to come out and play a bit more.

Better than I expected - soft tannins, nice balanced but subdued fruit. Very enjoyable and easy to drink

Rich big sift wine. Did not decant but opened nicely in bottle and glass. I think it can be drunk sooner rather than later
