definitely headed to the dark side.. more tertiary notes , leather , tobacco with a slightly bitter finish.. some fruit but not prominent. tannins are now at medium minus and will be low soon. acid still present. a beautiful wine that just drinks well. even if its not in its prime.. drink now if you have it..

Has improved since my last bottle. Drinking very nicely now. Friends enjoyed it as well. Nicely balanced, black fruits, some intensity still present with mid-level acidity. Smooth finish, nice flavor profile.

I don’t usually drink Merlots...am more of a Cabernet fan, but this Merlot was outstanding! Very big and the fruit was just right! I so enjoyed with my steak dinner!

Rounding into form, still a good balance of fruit, vanilla and a medium finish. So good with food!

Long in the tooth. Think it's a bad bottle.
