A little flatter. Good fruit- quite bright and clear. A little shrill.

this big & rich example is aging wonderfully where the blackberry & black cherry are seamlessly woven in velvety tannins of minerals, mocha, licorice & spice

Sleeper in that it is so restrained, complex, rich and concentrated, but shows cool vintage elements.

1.5 hour decant(decent fine/cloudy sediment). A majestic dark ruby red color with a little bricking. On the nose: beautiful notes of plum, anise, smoke, vanilla, sandlewood, and a touch of tobacco. Taste: smooth, creamy, rich wine with a little black cherry, currants, mocha, spice, balsamic, toasty oak, and a long plumy graphite dry finish. YUM! Gonna be a wonderful Saturday night.

Opened a 2007 Magnum tonight that I purchased in Bologna. The wine was near perfection. Incredibly smooth, almost flawless.

Great merlot. Good acidic structure. Long life ahead of this one. Beautiful balance. Would love to try this again in 10-15 years
