Easy drinking, but may have been past its prime. Very raisin quality after breathing for awhile.

Garagiste selection. $18.74. Nice full tannins. Very smooth. Great value.

I normally detest merlot but this had none of those overly-ripened, sweet notes I dislike. This was wonderful!! Meaty, crisp, delicious, and decidedly an Italian style. Loved it!

14yo Merlot? Sure! Unfortunately lacking body, big time. Nice notes of green pepper.
