Really like this wine. Was worried it would be far past its prime. Indeed, it had much softer tannins that typical younger Mercurey, but still had enough to let you know what you were drinking. Nice saddle leather on the nose. Black cherry on palate and decent finish.

A very good surprise. Still full of life with a very nice nose of wild cherry, strawberry and flowers. Shows a little bit of age as well not surprisingly and damp earth notes. There's a whiff of oak on the nose that you will also find on the palate but only on the texture side. Seems to show a little more dense darker fruits on the palate. Dusty tannins and very good acidity. Overall a very good Mercurey which aged beautifully.

Similar to the previous bottle. A nice mature Mercurey.

Big disappointment, although not a suprise. Past its prime. Watery and fruit gone.
