Rasberry and cedar on the nose and the wine is similar, with lots of red fruits, plum, olive, cedar, and a touch of smoke. Very dry, with spice, and higher acidity left this just a touch out of balance. Lots of tea notes on the mid-palette. Very good fruit and a good wine. A longer decant benefitted this wine greatly. This Merlot is 100% barrel aged for 18 months in French oak. At around ~16 is a very good QPR.
