In a surprisingly good shape. Very balanced and luckily not too mellow Merlot. Nice spice, plenty of coffee and black olives. Nicely ripe plum, too. Decent length. Bottle came from very good storage.

a pleasant surprise. flavors of berries and plum are rich. Color and nose are distinct. I was afraid I'd waited too long to get at this one but I was not disappointed.

Well beyond optimum age. The cork was depressed, and the wine was slightly oxidized. It had lost all fruit and was flat. While it was technically still drinkable, why bother. It's possible this bottle wasn't properly stored for some of its life.

Not too fruity. Subdued, but not diluted. Could use a little more zip
