Disappointing for the price. The wine just tasted 'tired', like it was on a swift downward slope. The 3 previous tasting 'noters' definitely liked it, but the last was in 2013 and this was tasted in very late 2015, hence the lack of fruit. Soft, yes, but not in a good way.

Velvety with smooth tannins. Chocolatey, layered with notes of raspberry pastilles, wood, and currant with nice tobacco notes. A well put together Merlot

Clear, deep garnet with slight rim browning. Toasted vanilla, chocolate, fig. Low.acids, medium tannins. Prune. Short balanced finish.

Nice merlot, deep layers and not overly fruit forward.
