This bottle almost stole the show. When it came time dinner (rotisserie ducks) Michael and I were faced with the decision to finish the decanter of Schrader which had not impressed us. I opted to pull this off the shelf and PNP. It was a good move. The nose was berries and chocolate. The palate was blackberry, plum, tree bark and hints of chocolate. The finish on the long side and smooth. Went perfect with the ducks and the cheese course that followed.

Better than the bottle I had a year and a half ago. Opened and slow ox'd for 7 hours and then poured through a soiree over the next 3 and a half hours. The nose was beautiful with dark berries and chocolate. The palate was a mix of dark berries and red berries, charred meat, pipe tobacco and chocolate. The finish just went on and on.

Superb, Merlot character really shines through. The balance in this wine is so spot on. Hit of the evening for our crowd, even though it was second of four wines poured. Notably stood out amongst four 90-point wines.

Still tasting young but delicious. This should go at least another 5 years in the cellar.
