Oof, this should be a Friday wine, not a Wednesday. Absolutely fantastic Merlot. Beautiful orange meniscus with a clear edge. Blowing seven kinds of smoke on the nose, but the wine is soft with pleasing dark berries, blood orange, and a little chalk. Not going to improve any more with further aging, so it's good I didn't wait until Friday! Less than 500 cases produced. Oh, and the bottle weighs a metric ton.
