Dark ruby. Opened with a very oaked presence. A bit tannic. As the night wore on, the wine blossomed into a merlot led experience as one would anticipate from this blend. Dark cherry and cigar box found its way to the top. Next time, I would decant for a few hours. Even @ 1/2 off night, this was a bit overpriced for what it delivered.

Bold, powerful red Bordeaux style blend. Merlot 53%, Cab Sav 23%, Cab Franc 22%, Petit Verdot 4%. Dark cherries, blackberries, dark chocolate. There are strong notes of black pepper, peppercorn and tobacco mixed with old fine leather. Aged for 14 months in small French barrels and 15 months in bottle. 79 barrels produced. This definitely needs 2hrs to decant, and will continue to blossom as the night progresses. Had some early sips after an hour, and an hour and a half of decanting and the tannins still needed time to settle.
