Still young in the bottle and almost inky in color. The merlot in the blend softens the tannins considerably. Slightly more acidic than the standard red blend which complemented my rare ribeye cap steak beautifully.

The Experiments are often better than most other wines. This one just needed some time to open up - maybe decant an hour or two.

This is just superb. I'd like to age my last few bottles but I don't know that I can resist. Pretty awesome juice.

Lush, rich, smooth. Very complex and hugely satisfying. Can age a long time.
