After about 15 minutes of air this was just delicious. The fruit was a bit raisined at first but the air seemed to help disperse that in favour of a largely savoury core to the wine. The mint and eucalyptus came through as well. Nicely dense and palate coating also.

Right after opening it did have a sour note that was similar to what another taster mentioned, but that vanished almost immediately. What was left was a nice minty, fruity, Merlot with the standard Wellington balance and structure. Excellent.

I'd never met a Wellington I didn't like -- until now. Besides being a bit sour, there's an off smell I can't really name. Oh well, something evil must have developed in there. No worries -- I think I may have another bottle or two of something or other around here to open instead.

I don't like Merlot, but something about Peter's Merlot is changing my opinion!
