Well cellar tracker is wrong. This could last another year or two. Lovely dark color. Took about an hour to really open up. Lots of dark fruit and a nice subtle kick towards the end. Lots of flavor to this one, can’t quite pick out everything. Nice wine. Glad we have one more bottle.

A big brooding wine with earthy characteristics. More of an old world Merlot. Loved it!
