Extremely perfumed nose with leather, campfire, fresh cut oak, and tobacco. Dense concentrated blueberries, blackberry, tobacco, with long earthy finish. 97 points
Deep dark purple color with nose of fresh thyme, graphite, paraffin, and tilled soil. A slightly tangy wine with tart cherry, cassis, blackberry, and crushed stone. The six hour decant revealed lots of tart acidity and robust mouth drying tannins. Not a typical Merlot lots or complexity with a lot of time remaining. 96 points.

This wine opens with scents of leather, caramel, and browned butter. A real crowd pleaser after a short 1 hour decant with pralines, fig and baking spices. Polished smooth drink with plenty of concentration. 94 points.
