Merlots on a Saturday Afternoon: I liked this wine, but was surprised to see it was an 05. A lot of funk already on the nose. I didn't mind it, but It seems advanced for its age. Also some cherries and in fact, I really enjoyed the nose thinking it might be a 2000 or earlier. On the palate, it drinks much younger. The wine is lean and sinewy. Not that its bad, just not what I was expecting from the nose. It put on weight as it was opened to air. Very approachable with dark cherries. I would drink these up in the next few years, but it would work great at the table.

Quite good. Deep and brooding, with classic Bdx dustiness. Very enjoyable would love to find more.
