On pop & pour, nose is a mix of older red fruit, earth, tobacco. It's transitioning to a mature wine, in spite of being stored in a back bedroom for 5 years.
7 min in glass, and the entry is warm, earthy, and gritty at first. Very high mid palate. Super long finish. Longer than I would expect of a merlot. Picking up some green notes, like stems of rosemary or thyme. But not piney!
