Similar to previous notes. There is a LOT of vanilla on the palate. While delicious now (and quite hedonistic, sorry to use the RP lexicon, but it is), it has the structure to develop nicely over the next decade IMO.

A decent Merlot that is a good - but not great - value. Nose of dust and cherry; medium in body; dark red in color. Tastes of darker fruits (e.g., blackberry), along with cedar and chocolate, with a chalky finish. 14% alcohol. I wouldn't seek this out as a special wine, but it is solid value. Better on second day.

This is just insanely good for the money. Dense, structured, serious Merlot that is both age-worthy and totally delicious right now too (just be sure to decant). Actually lives up to the name of the label.

Very tasty and ready to go with minimal air. Rich fruit but also nice structure. A great buy for $20.
