  Drink on up, I certainly enjoyed it. Secondary flavors are coming out, cedar/cigar box vs. fruit are really dominant. Maybe past its prime but btls were kept in cellar @ 55f and definately drinking well, more east bank Bordeaux than 5+ years ago. Don't wait, drink on up but a great fun 12 yr merlot.

  Definitely ready or just past it's peak but still kicking..... 4 of us tasted and were happy with the soft, soft tannins... black ripe fruit, interesting 12 years old merlot....

  A disappointment. Almost no bouquet. Silky smooth texture is gorgeous. Little flavour up front but mild flavours develop with a long finish. There is nothing to fault, but nothing to impress either....

  From magnum; recently purchased from the winery library. Dangerously ripe and sweet up front, and turns clunky/stewed toward the end of a glass. Would not hang onto any longer.
