An exceedingly black wine with dense nose filling aromas of black cherry and black plum. The sip combines edgy acidity, sharp tannin, and a dense, velvet, and juicy texture that rolls around the mouth. The swallow triggers a spike of acidity and a sour cherry fruit. Overall, a big bodied, muscular, and concentrated Merlot well worth following for another 5 to 10 years.

Was worried after reading other notes stating this one was vinegar. Too our great surprise and pleasure it was still quite good. Proper cellarimg may have given this bottle extended life. Going to look for more!
