Some tomato on the palate. Slight acidity, moderte tannins.
Overall, wine continues to mellow but flaovr is weak. Wine is now drinkable (barely). There are far too many better options to waste time with this wine.

Strong berry on the nose. The sweetness was bubblegum with a little vanilla/cream. Robust aroma.
Immediate dark berry on the palate followed by almond.
Some acidity late on the palate. Little tannins. Medium finish.
Good body and moutfeel.
Overall, a delicious wine. Not a typical merlot. Very approachable and food friendly, yet has just enough complexity of flavors that makes think... Delicious with a bolognese style ragu.
