Old Vines Merlot

Bright Red fruit savory earthy / coffee / fresh acidity still there

Pretty classic on the nose, red cherry, mocha, spice, dark chocolate / light and restrained, a lean style / long finish

Checked off the list, old Long Island wine. No repeat performance to come

plummy, black cherry, dark chocolate, great length

First blind wine of the night!

Fruit skipped out a bit but still doing mighty fine.

Everything still completely intact. Fruit, bod, acid.

12/22 This is a big burly wine with a lot of body. Well done. 89

4/22 This wine needs to air for awhile before it comes around. It is unfined and unfiltered. Did not taste it closely. Remember it being slightly disappointed. 85?

shockingly good. plenty of gas left in the tank, too.
