Nose is kind of astringent with tons of oak and plums. It has a cinnamon plastic edge to it...kind of hard to explain. Dense flavor profile with tons of plums, cherries, and barbecued oak. The finish is heady and tannic. Good but not great.

September 1999 Wine Country: Heavy new oak nose, hints of anise, floral qualities. Tannic, heavily extracted blackberries. Lavender and oak aftertaste. Not impressed

Special birthday wine, rare bottling of Merlot from this producer. OK, not worth close to premium price, IMHO.
