Pulled cork and drank. Was perfectly nice but would have benefitted from more air and time to breathe. Lots of life left in this wine - once again the drinking windows in CellarTracker are way too short. Nice balance of fruit and tannin and will be great drinking for another 5 years

This wine is fantastic. Has a definite Piedmontese style about it—asked the wife what she thought it was and she answered "nebbiolo," which is totally understandable in spite of it being merlot. Aromas of flowers, earth, cedar, and jalapeño pepper. Medium body, acid, and finish, with flavors of red fruits, cinnamon, black tea, orange peel, and leather. In a great spot right now. Super enjoyable. Stoked to have 2 more at this point. Boom!

Just checking in on this one and it's great again tonight, and surprisingly consistent to the '18 note—spot on! Only one more left…

Dark rich in color strong legs. Cherry dark fruit hints of tobacco and menthol strong Merlot one bottle left will save for the bbq this summer
