A bit musty on the nose. Thin palate, with a bit of a sharp finish. Hints of cedar, cigar box. Weak dark fruits. Lots of oak/vanilla, not well integrated.

A nice little wine but not very complex. The color was somewhat 'bricky' but it hadn't taken on the raisin/prune flavoring that wines do when they change color. We decanted it so it got a fair amount of air before drinking. It was pretty silky from the aging too.

Pleasant, straightforward, but not very complicated. This wine hits you with a very ripe and bright cheery nose and component. This singular fruit element dominates the wine from nose to finish, not much else really exists. Thirty minutes greatly improved the wine, but it’s still a plain and simple merlot.
