October 18, 2011 - This is in a good place right now. Tannins have subsided to a smooth finish and good fruit mid-palate.

May 20, 2011 - Not a bad entry, bits of dark berry. No middle and a grippy tannic end. Not sure if this will go anywhere better from here.

April 7, 2011 - Decanted for two hours. Very dard to the rim for a Merlot. Still not balanced flavor with the first glass. I agree with the earlier notes on it needing more time. Put back into the bottle and will try again tonight.
