Ruby color, slightly oxidated around the rim. Musty and earthy, spice notes and tobacco on the nose. No green-ness of merlot present, red fruit, red licorice, pepper spice, smooth tannins and full on the attack and mid palate, long smooth finish. Very nice wine for me, drinking quite lovely.

I really liked where this wine is right now, but still has some staying power. Good fruit a bit strong at first mellows out with time. Glad we have a few left over.

1-2 hours of air. Nose of prunes, jammy fruit, acetone, heat. Some red fruit, some heat on the palate. Good acidity. Decent.

Without a doubt, perhaps one of the best Merlots we have experienced.
