This was not a particularly good merlot. Better than some house merlots, but worse than some others. It did not have a good bouquet, and the smell and taste were "musty." I do not believe that this was a corked bottle, just not a good vintage. I previously had a 2006, and it was much better.

not a fan. quick note - nose showing predominantly oak tannin wound around a hot medicinal smelling package. ditto in the mouth - felt a little scorched between the tannin and acid.

Vinegary thinnish taste, other bottles drank several years ago much better

Spicy tomato is a turn-off.
