March 13, 2019 - In Chicago, haven't had this in a few years (2015), time to revisit. Over 2 nights, coravin'd
From prior notes: "Light translucent garnet color - some thinning and orange at the rim. Nose of red fruits, tobacco. Nice Pomerol signature, mature red fruits, stewed plums, cranberry, earth, mushrooms, floral notes. Medium finish, tannins sweetened and fine."
Largely consistent, took some time to open, did better as it warmed (was in a wine fridge), did better on 2nd day, may have been the cooler temp. Either way, this is still drinking nicely but not likely to improve much. Great QPR for what I paid ~$40 -

February 24, 2019 - A little thin, compared to the Fidelitas Merlot from the prior evening this did not have the same smooth richness.
