Still drinking well, earthy w some fruitiness and a slightly tannic finish: A bit tight when first open and rust colored hue. Drank side-by-side with a more fruity 2015 of the same wine, which made this one, feel more austere.

Thanksgiving wine - Coravin pour. Really needed at least 30-60 min to open up. Similar to other recent notes - holding strong, with obvious bricking on the rim. Blue fruited. No doubt a mountain merlot.

As others have stated....Still going strong at 10 years. Some bricking but with some time in the glass it really opened up.....even better the second night!

I pretty much agree with AboveAvgBro's tasting note immediately below. This was very nice. Upon opening, I was worried the wine might be past its prime due to substantial bricking, but it was still drinking great. Decanted to remove sediment just before drinking, it got better in the glass, so if you're going to open one in the next year I might suggest a half hour in the decanter before drinking. Don't think I'd wait much past a year for this one though.
