  Da mesma safra do Three Palms nº 1 Wine Spectator, mas elaborado com uvas Merlot procedentes de vários vinhedos, cortadas com 7% de Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% de Petit Verdot e 2% Cabernet Franc. Estagiou durante 16 meses em barricas de carvalho francês, 40% novas. Alc. 14.5% vol. Em muito bom momento, amplo e intenso, mas bastante sedoso, preciso, repleto de fruta madura temperada com muitas nuances aportadas pela madeira e pelo afinamento em garrafa. Confraria Tre Bicchieri, restaurante La Pulpería Paseo Itaigara.

  Nose of black cherry, blackberry, stone fruit, some oak. Full bodied, medium finish, clean. Balanced acidity and tannins. Overall a nicely balanced merlot.

  Really big wine here, blind I thought it was Cabernet. A bit over cooked, nearly burnt at the start but the started to blow off after a while. Notes of tar, burnt pie crust, baked fruits, some burnt rubber, oak and coffee. Still young but not sure if there is enough acidity there to get much better. Prob worth it to hold a few more years to see.

  Deep red with tobacco on the nose, ripe cherries. Should have bought more.

  A full hour open before start of drinking. We enjoy Duckhorn especially the nuances of Merlot
