🍇 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc 👁Deep Ruby in Gabriel Glas Stand’Art. 👃Double decant for half hour. On first sniff the note to hit your nose are black fruits like cassis and blueberries layered by oak and vanilla and spices like cinnamon and mint once you swirl in your mouth. 👅 Medium plus body, medium intensity, fresh acidity even after six years, savory, umami, juicy and fine tannins that are not grippy in the mid palate. Structured, drinking well, short but smooth finish.

This was ok, especially with cheese board. I did let it open for about an hour prior to drinking.
Medium aromas of ripe dark fruit/berries, a little bit of smoke or spicy, that was hard to discern. Smooth, not very tannic, and a decent wine. I got it as a gift so perhaps I am less critical,but I can see how other reviewer got some dustiness.

This improved with time/air/temperature, but not really my style.

Not that impressed. Musty nose, and for 80% merlot, it's hard to tell. Drinkable but not worth my $22
