  Decanted five hours. Everything comes together to make a suburb merlot.

  In 2016 RP said to give this wine 5 more years and can age three decades. In my humble opinion, it's definitely not ready for for prime time. After about an hour in the decanter, this wine was primary and tart. Will wait a few more years.

  Wow, this is a very tasty merlot! Rich and mouth filling, it spreads nicely along the palate and finishes loooong. Structured for the long haul, I believe, but a pleasure now. Fine tannins, a quite present acidity, and fruit forward but not a bomb by any stretch.

  Rich, lovely fruit, forward. Quality stuff. Will benefit from a few more years.
