February 10, 2024 - Garagiste selection 14% ABV
Color: dark red with brown edges. Viscous legs
Nose: medium intensity. Subdued aromas... most likely a result of nearly 20 years old.
Body/flavor: medium body. Nice wine but beyond its peak.
Aftertaste: short finish -

March 27, 2015 - Great pop and pour, very little time to open up, even from a magnum. Perfect for any casual meal, and especially drinkable right now.

January 30, 2015 - Great pop-n-pour, though better a day later. Simple, velvety merlot. Excellent QPR.

August 25, 2014 - Pop & pour from magnum. Very nice Merlot. Didn't take detailed notes but went very well with barbecued pizza at Kia/Joe's. Quite youthful.

May 30, 2014 - From magnum. Pnp - very earthy, dusty and mineral. More fruit showing at the 2h mark, but by that time the palate had disintegrated leaving a hollow mid-palate and a flabby wine.
