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.
