Blackberry, Cherry, cola, oak Medium+ body and tannins Medium acidity Dry Smooth with a medium finish Decanted 1.5 hrs Cork fell apart Thought this would be well past prime like the 3 palms 2020 I had, but was pleasantly surprised how drinkable it was (minus the cork).

From a magnum, nose of earth, black berry, black cherry, and mocha, same on the palate, big body, tasty, at peak even with this format, elegant, mouth filling fruit, sip, savor, and pour another glass, this was the second night and St. Patrick's Day, paired with roasted chicken, just delicious, long finish and terrific aftertaste, over 35 years I have enjoyed every bottle of Sterling Merlot, photo uploaded.
