Much betterr than 3 years ago. Aromatic, slightly "woodsy" merlot dominant wine. Definitely not California, best unaerated. Not the ethereal wine CGTW originally recommended.

Served with a lentil soup with garlic and I read that Merlot would be a good match to the dish; reviewer was entirely correct as this wine/food pairing was the surprise of the note. Deep, rich color and a beery nose right from the onset of the pour. Wine was balanced with a long finish and just a damned enjoyable bottle to start off the dinner.

Still tasting good. Great acidity, balance, and enough fruit left to last several more years.

Still very good. Too bad it was the last one.

Opened before dinner. Enjoyable, but restrained nose. Hasn't shown a lot of development.
