Drank very well. Has really settled down and integrated. Not at all in your face like the 2010. Great fruit but more sophisticated. Sorry it's my last. Was great QPR

Fantastic nose. Notes of dark fruit in the form of plum and some red fruits with a touch of earth. Plenty of supple tannins and a lingering finish on the palate. Not much in the way of acidity, but this is a Spring Mountain Merlot, so I wasn't expecting piercing acidity. Beautiful oak throughout. Fruit faded a bit on day two, but overall an excellent wine. Not sure there is much upside to holding longer. 90-92 pts. PJP 2015.

Very good, not quite excellent.
Nice nose of dark fruit and hints of vanilla and dark chocolate
Palate could have been more balanced
