Nice merlot. A bit singular, but and opulent. I got more dark fruit today than my Julyntasting note suggests. Probably because this bottle I let breathe for four hours, but no decanting. There is some age developing on the wine, but as usual CT pundits miss the dates by a decade...at least. This wine will drink into 2022+

Lots of red fruit - pomegranate and currants especially -- with some twigs and other stems in the late body. This wine almost seems like a Malbec, but just abut softer and less edgy.
I'm not sure how this will age. I'm thinking this is nearly done,made spite lots of fruit...the fruit is becoming more forward and tart. I think it's time to wrap up my half case.

Wow! I thought this bottle would be past peak, but it is actually drinking beautifully! It actually also held up for several hours after opening.

Maturing nicely, getting some forest floor but still with fruit.
