This was in a very nice place. A bit too much oak, and a touch of brett weren't my favorite parts, but other than that this was a really soft, rich and tasty CA Merlot. Good balance and fully resolved tannins. Id drink this now as it is really singing. Not in any hurry to fall apart, but it was a great match with our Tenderloin.

Agree with RP - highly extracted, dark fruit, rich, and still drinking well 18 years later. Got better as the night went on. Decanted half-hour.

Exceptional full bodied wine with a long palate and gusto body. It still could age many years.
