This year was not a typical merlot for Seavey. I had hoped that this wine would come together . Properly decanted and then consumed over three day. Just not up to the usual quality.

I can see why others rated this sub 90 but believe this just needs time. Decanted 2 hours then back into bottle for serving. Drank over 2 days next to a 2018 pride merlot. Day 1 was very muted but day 2 was wide open. This is a very good wine and QPR but not ready to drink yet. Alas I only had one bottle but would wait 2-3 years on this one or a very long decant.
I have to agree with the previous posters on this one. At least at this time it's just not very exciting over the 3 days I drank it. Although it finally showed some progress on the third day. The 2014 merlot is a far superior drink at this point in time.

Not up to usual Seavey Merlot standards. Thin and lacking fruit. Off bottle?

Wanted to try an early one. Needs at least five years to mature and balance out.
