  Consumed over 2 days (vacuvined), note from day 2. Nose: Medium expressiveness, plum, Asian spice, venison, and sweet tobacco. Palate: Medium bodied, spicy plum attack, good acidic back-bone - lifted by the lingering up front spice characteristic, gamy notes re-appear thru the back-end. Finish: Medium length dominated by sweet tobacco, plum and black raspberry - this really drinking wonderfully right now - one bottle left.

  Wow...this wine is getting better quickly. Licorice, chocolate & acidity is perfect. Glad I have 5 more.

  Consumed over 2 days, note from day 2. Nose: Expressive scents of blackberry, plum, eucalyptus, and jolly rancher candy - all in a good way. Palate: Medium plus bodied, nice ripe dark fruit with a little earthiness up front, carries nicely through the mid-palate where it's joined by a little spice kick and tannic grip. Finish: Very rustic, medium plus length dominated by spicy tannins with dark fruit in the background. Was actually better on day 2, just more expressive from front to back. One of the best 100% Merlot offerings I've ever tasted.
