Give at least an hour to decant. Ripe red and black cherry and plum, green notes of bell pepper, mint, and a clear medicinal quality, notes of alcohol-y vanilla extract, prunes, and wet leaves in the bouquet. Juicy mouthfeel with cherry and plum, kirsch and prune on the palate with some mild black tea tannins on a medium-short finish. Cooked medicinal fruit a tad strong for my taste but overall a balanced and restrained Merlot. May benefit from a few years of cellaring

On one of those “oh, shit it’s Mother’s Day” kind of days when you want to open something truely quaffable, after the perfunctory bottle of Moët, this is under appreciated. Best left for when you need to: a) impress on your first date with a supermodel b) convince Johnson that you are the man for the big Clarkson account c) apologise for forgetting your significant others birthday, or d) take a sling at Bourgeois depression


Fantastic drop, but probably better cellared for a while longer.
