  Great wine, still a lot of dark fruit apparent on the nose. Structure starting to fade, so definitely at its peak now or slightly past. This wine has held up nicely. 2003 Merlot vintage was definitely quality.

  Drinking this wine outside its drinking window, I was pleasantly surprised with how well it was drinking. Smooth on the front, with a nice lingering finish and little to no edginess. Hints of cherries and chocolate. Went well with (and not overpowered by ) the smoked BBQ pork ribs and tritip.

  Very complex but smooth wine. Lots of dark fruit on the nose. Hard to pick out one aroma. A little bit of cherry, some blackberry and cocoa powder. On the palate there was a hint of herbaceousness. Still had some nice tannic structure. The finish was silky and lasted a good long while. Would purchase again.

  Has a long life ahead. Decanted. Not a lot of sediment. Dark purple. Notes of sweet fruit from a distance, the closer your nose got to the wine the tighter the wine got. Hints of dark bitter chocolate. Lots of dark fruit flavors and very grippy tannins. Would like to let this sit for a few years to see how the tannins resolve. Surprisingly, even though the wine came in at 13% alcohol, there was a touch of heat on the back of the palate that I normally associate with higher alcohol wines. Would purchase again.
