Powerful, robust and jammy! This wine opened up after about four hours and was perfect at 24 hours. Enjoyed again at 48 hours and finished up the last glass.

Full and expressive Merlot character on the nose. Dark cherry, bright fruit, juicy, but with a mineral intensity on the back. With direct focus on the palate and structure. Youthful now, shall evolve.

Decanted 2.5 hours. Probably needed more. Drank with cauliflower gratin and barbecued filet mignon marinated in brandy, garlic, oil, and plenty of salt and pepper. This is my third time trying this wine. I didn’t detect much fruit in it. It tasted more like mushrooms and earth and green pepper. I think I will keep my last 4 bottles in the cellar for a few more years before trying again.

Open and expressive nose. Firm and integrated tannins. Medium long finish. First of 3 bottles. Ready to drink now with plenty of years ahead of it.

So much cedar. Note to self: hold for at least several years.
