From ETS Martin in late 2019. (Laura Christmas gift to John, after 2017. Had 2015 on 4/24/2021. Very dark opaque at center, magenta at edge. Forest berries. Bubble gum. Overripe banana/butterscotch/pecan bread. Tannins strong, overpowering front and middle mouthfeel and taste. Glorious lasting finish, breathing out for minutes (would that be alcohol?). All Merlot or some Cab franc? Velvety like right bank.
