The nose was very Vicks, viable heat and yield signs....a bit ripe but it rounded out very well after 90 min in the decanter. Certainly a "different" expression of merlot. I defy you to identify it blind. Definitely a hold but worth a re-visit in 2-3 years. There is something here.

Jam-a-licious nose. Elegant and suave nose...chocolate-flowers. Crushed blackberries, full bodied with alluring tannins. Mid palate shows granite, tobacco and ground coffee. Finished like a dream, smoldering asphalt and smoke. Paired well with an 120 day aged NY Strip.

Wow, that's a serious Merlot! Mulberry and milk chocolate with a luxurious, mouth-coating texture. I really need to drink more Merlot.
