Merlot round table: bold and oak driven. Doesn't taste particularly Italian

A guilty pleasure wine to say the least. Chocolate covered cherries steeped in cherry cordial. Some clove, mint and spice to keep it interesting. Overall it comes off a little Port-y though.

2008 vintage, needs 30 minutes to open up.
Brilliant color, forest berries aromas, structure pallet, expected more based on previous vintages
