  Just opened it. Still slightly chilled. Took one sip. It needs to be open longer and closer to room temp to appropriately judge but…taste like grape jelly mixed with an old worn saddle(leathery). Feeling good about the expected taste in an hour.

  Still going strong, this one!
  Really good US Merlot based blend.
  Lovely nose, and a fresh wine.
  Tasted blind against a Pomerol wine in a “duel”, and 5 out of 8 had this as the winner.
  90+
