Thursday, February 20, 2020 - Color showing some bronzing on rim...On the nose lots of dried fruit... a bouquet of everything tertiary...dried black cherry, raspberry and plum w some tobaco earth dark bittersweet chocolate along with distinct cassis.
Mouth is silky and showing gorgeous age with integrated mellowed tannins and beautiful fruit. A nice meditterenean herbal finish. Acidity still there and everything integrated maybe very slightly past its peak but certainly a beautiful merlot showing its plush characteristics but with age - merlot age! Very nice!
