Drank this to celebrate our wedding (thank you Sameer!). Pleasant to hear a gentle pop upon opening, with some bubbles still present once poured. Still with lively acidity. Oxidative apples, blue cheese. This will always be a special bottle, and will remain on my mantle in perpetuity.

sweet blackberry, graphite, cocoa (don't know the percent merlot, but felt recognizable). some mild tertiary leather notes starting to appear. I think it's firmly in the drinking window now. There's some very, very slight boot polish volatile acidity that detracts from a higher score.

far too much tertiary (bacon fat, smoke, olive pit) for a wine so young.
