  Opened and consumed over 3 days using coravin pivot. Disclaimer that the cork broke when using a regular opener, and I tried to salvage the situation using an ah so, but still ended up with cork in the bottle. I had to use coffee filters to filter out the cork and a lot of the sediment got filtered out as well. The wine was smooth and velvety. Medium to light palate. Was fine for the first two days but had oxidized by the third day.

  This is a muscular wine, especially considering it is 64% merlot. Dark and meaty with cherry, raspberry, tar, and cocoa on the nose. Chewy tannins and some acidity on the front end suggest it has a ways to go.
  This is a classic right bank blend but there is no doubt it's new world all the way. It needs red meat...a bit of a monster on its own. There is a long finish with cherry cola and malted milk balls. Flirting with the edge of what I can handle stylistically but not quite rocket fuel.

  Very nice wine. Similar to my last notes. Seems to be drinking well now. I was surprised to see this vintage is predominately merlot. It is an enjoyable wine.

  Solid A wine. The note right below me describes my experience perfectly so no need for me to write further. In a good drinking window right now, but no rush. It had this slight sour pepper finish which could be liked by some.

  Pnp
  Blackberry menthol, forest, raspberry, cream, vanilla, a little hint of bitter, tar, and ink, but much rounder then previous vintages 06 and 07 I have had. Good fruit, alcohol is not overpowering, and velvety tannins. Weight medium slight plus, acid medium. In a good drinking window IMO. Seems well integrated and easy to drink.
