I’m a Tempest fan but others preferred The Bard. Young but fantastic. Could have spent more time opening but too many people for that. Magnum.

Deep purple/ruby in color. Has a nose of plum sauce, and definitely bay leaves, with a hint of vanilla. On the palate this wine is bold, flavorful, and full of tannin. A full-bodied wine, it is not “forgettable” as many proclaim merlot to be. This is a BIG wine with a pleasant, lingering finish. It’s young, and will soften over time, but I still like it’s youthful vibrancy.

Drinking great early, not being overly fruit forward is a plus.
