Lovely dark nose. Let this one sit for awhile, it gets better and better. Almost tasting chocolate notes on this now. Nice wine.

The 2009 Leonetti Merlot (WWB, 95) shows an insanely good texture and ripe mouthfeel. Decadent now, the wine unveils layered chocolate and black fruit flavors with a kiss of American oak. This will continue to cellar marveloulsy for a decade or more. Drink 2019-2029- 95

This wine is spectacular. Beautiful deep aromas of dark Cherry and lightly toasted oak. Full bodied and complex with rich cherry notes. Lingering smooth finish with cherry and oak. Wow.

Gorgeous merlot. First night smooth and balanced. On the Second night it's personality surfaced with an olfactory flashback to a 2001 Chevalier Blanc of a few years ago. Deep, lush, long, Dark berries, smoke, ... and in the 3rd night before disappearing... a bit gamey. Wish you could freeze this stuff in that perfect moment!? (Why haven't we figured out that technology. Come on delectable teammates !).
