  Served at Christmas. Perhaps still a little early in the drinking window? It was just too restrained and proper to bring a lot of delight. Fine wine, no doubt, but not suited to Christmas dinner and it needs a little more joy.

  Was good, tho not hugely memorable. Certainly better than the first showing. Shame on me for inattention.

  I cannot recall a wine that was as strongly and pleasantly aromatic as this! Classic merlot aromas and flavor profile that seems primarily primary. Had a little bit of bite on the finish, which might've been a PV showing up. At $40, it's a very fair QPR and this should easily last to 2023 and beyond, but it's drinking very well now.

  Very strong and nice nose upon opening. Very fruity. The mouth follows in the same register. Strong, bold, with tannin's still present, but not disturbing. Quite pleasing. Not very complex nor long, but very satisfying. I do no think it will improve with further aging. But it should keep a few years.
