It is def ready to drink. Quick finish. Fruit is pretty muted but the inital taste is pretty good. Wish we would have drank it sooner. But still solid.

Nice nose. Still a lot of dark fruit on the nose and the palette. Fantastic. Still impressed with how well this aged.

Fantastic Merlot. Decanted. Could have held for another year or two. Had a bite at the end still. Fantastic.

Wow. This does not taste like an 04, lots of dark fruit still left on this one. A little tartness to it almost. Could still age this one for a bit. Decanted this for about 6 hours.

Everything dialed up - fruit, oak, tannins. Delicious with food and by itself.
