Strong nose of cognac, plum, dates, caramelized sugar, violets and port, this is a big, bold wine. Red to amber color on a medium-to-full body this palate is intense and gently tannic. Grippy but gentle, with rich red and purple fruits, with notes of coffee, dark chocolate and menthol on a long finish. — 9 days ago

Christmas Eve dinner with ribeye steak. What a wine! Lovely aromatic of ripe blue fruit, crushed stone, leather baseball gloves. Almost black color. About as perfect a wine as I have had. Blue and black ripe fruit, softened edges but powerful tannins. Perfectly matched acidity. Structured brilliantly. Graphite, stone, hint of menthol, licorice. Nice medium + finish. Perfect wine yet still so youthful, many, many years left. Will wait a few years before opening another bottle. — 21 days ago

Sweet oak/sweet fruit aromas and flavors up front, this shows some remaining structure w/very good acidity that keeps it fresh, should develop further, my wife’s favorite (older) Bordeaux!! — 15 hours ago

Neus: Verleidelijke aroma’s van zwart fruit zoals cassis en zwarte kers, aangevuld met tonen van cederhout, sigarenkistje, en een vleugje chocolade.

@TheMillenRotterdam

Smaak: Vol en zijdezacht, met rijpe tannines die structuur en elegantie bieden. De smaken van pruim, truffel en kruiden zijn prachtig verweven met minerale accenten en subtiele houttonen.

Afdronk: Lang en gelaagd, met een aanhoudende frisheid en verfijnde tannines. — 20 days ago

Picked up a 2012 at Wine House for $60 on 12/21/2024

One of the best wines I’ve tasted all year especially in the sub $100 price range

Smells like fertilizer and funk (in a good way) but tastes like blackberries and cherries with hints of soil — 21 days ago

Excellent but expensive Merlot. Nice bottle flavor with chocolate and licorice, finishing with smooth tannins and tar. Leave open one hour before consuming. — 7 days ago
