Thursday, December 15, 2011 - P&P. Crystal garnet. Bit of american oak and red fruit on the nose. Just a nice light old world style wine. Bit dry, easy light fruit. Bit green. Some strawberry, licorice. Lingers. This is pretty unremarkable & simple. I am not sure this gets better w time. The fruit may not put last the tannins, oak & acids. Also, I see this as a much light wine than previous reviews. (87)

Day II. Left about half of this in the decanter overnite & was ready to toss it as it was not what I needed for a Friday night. Went in for a taste & man, a totally different wine. Weight, depth, rough & tumble tannins, chocolate, depth. Didn't get complex, just a really excellent Napa Merlot.
