Drank over three days, and it was still showing as strong on the third day as it did on the first. Similar notes as last time (black fruit driven with pleasant oak notes and silky tannins), except that almost all the rough edges smooth out after being open 24+ hours and you get a strong, well balanced, and extremely enjoyable wine.

Terrific merlot from a small producer. The moment I opened it, aromas of black raspberries and blueberries burst forth from the bottle. Venturied and let set for an hour. The nose and palate both delivered on that first impression. Fruit forward, but well balanced and sufficient structure to justify additional cellar time. a potential rock star!

Strong black fruit flavors and aromas. Nice oak notes. Definitely will lay down for a while, but also drinking well now.
