  Intense red color with copper hue; 1st nose; raisin stems and macerated fruits. 2nd nose; vanilla. On the palate; fruity with mild tannins, big body and chewy with long finish.

  Happily, this Merlot aged well. Part of a New Year’s celebration and all enjoyed the subtle, velvety quality of the wine. Well structured with good red fruit mouthfeel.

  Last of 4 bottles from this vintage. Didn’t know what to expect, concerned that the wine was past its peak. Still a lovely bottle, dark fruit with a touch of cocoa, the tannins are hanging around to provide a solid frame. Moderate finish. Drank with and after dinner, over 2 hours, during which merlot retained all of its initial appeal.

  Wasn't expecting much from this bottle, but it really exceeded my expectations. The nose had a nice dark berry with a hint of cocoa. The overall structure was in balance right away and developed well with some air. I liked the taste initially, with red fruits and berries had slight restrained feel but as the wine loosened up with air the flavors exploded. This wine seems to be right in its prime, highly recommended.

  Deep purple color. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. Big fruit flavors - blueberry, strawberry, cherry. Limited tannins. Structure is nice but the flavors are getting better integrated with a medium finish. The secret is decanting. I gave it 2 hours and it needed it otherwise the fruit is too big.
