Pre-sideways Napa merlot from parents cellar after they sold the house. Gave it some serious air, maybe 1hr. Drank over the following 60-120 minutes.

👃: raspberry yankee candle burning in a beachside souvenir store. Crushed tart/bitter fruit. Hints of menthol, wet cedar and chocolate.
👄 : umami/hen of the woods mushroom/forest. Some fruit but not much, Boysenberry/blackberry.
Long luxurious woody finish with menthol, chocolate and a bit of tobacco and cedar. Tannins are there but very comfy, mellow and silky.

Very much alive and would’ve continued to age for several years.

People are such sheep. Merlot is delicious. Sure it's atrocious in the wrong hands but so is Pinot for crying out loud! Aaaaanyway: soft black cherry and plum fruit, leather, green tobacco. Beautiful, plush wine and not overly hot or jammy.
