This really needs the @Bill Bender photo treatment to deflect the snickering, but it was a surprisingly balanced and delicious wine. #meow — 9 years ago

Decanted for a little over an hour. This is the last of the bottles that traveled from Atlanta to San Antonio. Most of the "collection" was uh...absorbed before the move out fear. So glad we held onto this one! Dark, dried fruits, velvety texture and the softest of tannins made this a great friend to steaks, and Agnes was particularly pleased with it's pairing with chocolate covered pretzels. Sad this is the last bottle. — 10 years ago

Like the grace and power of a cougar. Beautiful, elegant, silky, and light over a deep dark core. Drinks well now but I'd like to see what other dimensions could develop. — 7 years ago

This one grew strong in the dark! Enormous acrid/tannic nose that calms, but never fully dissipates. Thick and leggy. Thought it was going to be a fruit/tobacco monster, but, again, it settled down to a pretty well-rounded cherry bomb.
Edit: Beware the dregs. — 9 years ago

Immediate tart fruit nose - raspberry and blueberry, rhubarb; gives way to ripe blackcurrant. Hints of charcoal.

Lovely palate - beautiful balance. Very smooth texture - very well integrated tannins. Starts with more tree bark-sequence notes, herbaceous and cinnamon undertones, before fading into rich, soft black and purple fruit, with exceptionally bouncy black currant again a dominating theme, and with minor forest floor undertones to add the equivalent of subtle crows feet.
It's like it tells you it's age first, then proceeds to flirt with you. This is a cougar wine: it snares you with a sense of mature yet bouncy fun and then proceeds to beguile you with a mix of old and new in both aroma, taste and texture. A slightly high level of acid from its advanced years is a low price to pay for drinking it all.

Lovely long finish that gives beautiful chewy fruit, yielding to herby zest after seemingly long time.

Only criticisms are a slight muddling of fruit flavours, and a slight preponderance of acid on the front of the tongue. — 9 years ago

Not usually a N. America merlot fan, but this is mighty fine! Big and jammy, without being too sweet. Absolutely no off flavors, with a gradual, clean finish. — 8 years ago
