Community Tasting Note

WineGuyDelMar Likes this wine: 93 points
December 22, 2022 - Decanted two hours. Cab was forward initially but then the Merlot came out at hour four. Old World nose and medium body and mouth feel. Nice cassis, tobacco & leather notes. Excellent wine. Very smooth but nice complexity without being heavy handed. Nose after four hours was unmistakably Old World and almost forest floor funky. My kind of wine.
