This inky, Merlot-dominant blend is a full-on Goth wine: dark currants, dark cherries, dark blueberries…

The oak is restrained and the jamminess is less than in recent releases. A bit of decanting helps to reduce the jam factor a lot.

I’m still not completely sold on the “new and improved” Langtry wine style, but I see this as a solid step in the right direction, perhaps someday restoring Old Soldier Road to its former greatness.
