Currant, blackberry, and some leather in the nose with a little spice. These continue in the flavor with a vibrant finish. Not showing much of its age, a lovely wine!

Last of my magnums. The nose on this wine is to die for. Similar notes to my last bottle, but maybe a little less fruit. Ultra smooth and a velvety texture. I would agree with other users that this need to be drank now and enjoyed.

This is a very good Meritage which is finally hitting its stride. JL on WS gave it only a 83 in 2008 and said that it should be drunk then through 2012. Well. I'm here to tell you that this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot is drinking great now and has quite a few years left to go. Stylish, and supple.

Think this is beyond its peak. Depth has significantly lessened. But still very good.

This wine is aging well. Much smoother than my last bottle. A really nice big flavor. Had with a steak and it really complimented the meat.
