Deep dark red, founds this to be a little hot, big wine, drinks like a Cab, currants, spice, hint of licorice, short finish, which I found odd as big a wine as this is. More air the better.

Higher tannins than desired at first. Mellowed with time, but not as balanced as I would like

Very nice juice. Little earthy body and toasty oak. Good merlot with or without any food.
