from memory: still very much alive and with some kick; prominent tertiary profiles, balsamic and dark jammy notes; med+ acidity; tannins softened but present; nice depth and round, but not overly complex in its old age. paired well with rich red sauce pasta sauces.

Monthly tasting club "The Tasting Club" 2017-003; Merlot (@ WW): Creamy dark berries, sweet spices and forest floor in the bouquet. On the palate sweet spices, chocolate, some toast, dark berries, beautiful acidity and tannin. Still very much alive and still some future left.

LICORICE, CHOCOLATE, AND BLACK CHERRIES IN THE NOSE. PLUMS, BLACKBERRIES, AND BLACK CHERRIES IN THE FLAVOR. LONG FINISH.

Still tight. Veggies and pepper dominate the palate. Smoke and some dark fruit peak thru. Couple of more years left.
