  Definitely has an old world feel, both on the nose and on the palate. Benefitted from 45 min. of breathing time, which helped clear up some funk in the aromatics.

  Opened an evening in advance for sampling but not decanted; one other opened bottle showed past signs of seepage; this one was fine. This is a lovely mid-weight mostly-merlot blend, showing roasted meaty notes alongside gracefully aging black cherry fruit. Firm structure, a little bit restrained. Quite good now alongside grilled steaks, and if a little age helps it open up, I'll be even more enthusiastic. (P.S. I should mention that I'd be noticeably less enthusiastic if I had paid what seems to be full retail for this, now that I look it up...)
