Solid offering from Northstar on an off vintage...pnp at a dinner party, all the guests enjoyed. Subdued tannins yet still some grip, well-rounded flavors dominated by the merlot, methinks. Well balanced, drink sooner than later

Somewhat flat on night one, opened a bit on night two but a little underwhelming. Hoping this develops a bit more but worried it may be too late.

Not in a really good place right now. Really tight and subdued, need to wait a year or two more.
