  94 Very good Merlot at 19 years age with same dark and stewed fruits remaining coupled with cedar and fine tannins and a lengthy finish. Drank over 3 nights, would not hold for any longer than 2-4 years.

  Wow!!!! I didn’t know a Merlot could be this incredible. You can tell that the scents after opening the bottle were going to result in something really special. So smooth with a lingering fantastic finish.

  At 16 years on vintage, this is drinking exceedingly well. Shows the character of a warm-year Right Bank Bordeaux, with Pride's mastery of their artistry and subsequent ability to age of their lineup. Fruit was fresh and rich, while structure was fully integrated flawlessy. Delicious and unusual, long finish just showing a touch of age. Paired this with a prime charbroiled steak for a magnificent meal. Merlot as Merlot should be, a fairly rare event.

  Beautiful lush expressive with a cinnamon toasty nose and plenty of ripe fruit flavor. Spicy complex finish. Red plum. Finishes with sage and oregano.

  Purchased at the winery. Decanted 2 hours before drinking. Heavier sediment. Solid cork. Raisiny with a rich texture and full body. Notes of currant and earthy red fruit. Showing off its 15.7% alcohol but not overdone. 94 points.
