Plum/cherry red; opaque. Gorgeous smoky, oaky/vanilla nose, with rich bonfire aroma; deep; fruit on the finish. Taste follows the nose - woody, spicy, mellow. Fruit reticent, doesn't stand up to the other flavours. Sour cherries come to dominate. Fabulously opulent, but falls a little flat on the flavour and the finish. Really good nose - totally my sort of thing. Palate lets it down. After a while, cassis character develops, an improvement.

Very good cherry flavors and decent tannin make this a nice, elegant merlot. Plenty of depth and character that make this better than most under $15 merlots.
