One of the best damn merlots I've tasted. If all merlot tasteed this good, the world would be a better place. Powerful currant and fig notes on the nose, mouth saturating tobacco, plum, and hints of cloves on the palette, all of which linger long after the swallow. Fanfreakingtastic!

Nice Merlot. Lush, dark fruit on this still. Just lovely. This would hold up to a lot of different meals still.

2015. Will improve with more time in the bottle. Decanted for about an hour and it improved significantly.

This bottle was much better than the others we have previously opened. A massive fruit bomb of a Merlot. Drinking really nice right now.

Wanted to like this one so much more. I think this bottle had started to turn though. Super jammy with some must. I’m sure other bottles of this vintage would taste much better. Will rerate when I open up another bottle.
