Infanticide? Probably...but this is my first experience with a Sangiacomo Merlot and wanted to assess future purchasing potential. As expected, this came across very young and I did not give it the air time that it rightfully should have received. Nevertheless, the quality was undeniable and the potential, obvious. This was a mix of berries and cream, anise, and some mint. Super duper fresh. Medium weight. Long finish. For those that were able to grab some, I strongly suggest giving these cellar time or, at the very least, an extended decant. This is already good and has a very bright future.
