Enjoyable, but clearly at the end of its life. Started out very compelling with a campfire nose and spicy palette. From there it developed into a fairly generic old wine. Some nice cherry notes, softened tannins. No reason to wait on this one. Drink while it's still got some life left

Drinking wonderfully. Decanted for about one hour. Had the wondeful dark fruit and was definitely new world but with a great structure and finish. Delicious.

Vivid, fragrant and earthy nose of dark fruits, oak, anise, clove and black pepper, jammy, fruit-driven palate of blackberry and black plum with secondary notes of vanilla extract, dark chocolate, coffee bean, incense and toast, chewy tannins, lengthy, vanilla bean finish.

Beautiful mature merlot, elegant and complex following a short decant. Should remain at this level for a few more years but no reason to wait.

Spectacular. Splash decant. Drink now or within 5 years.
