An average vintage still yields a beauty of a merlot. Rich notes of coffee, brown sugar and cherry jam. Balanced presentation on the palate. Consistent notes from the nose, with good texture and ripe tannins. Still plenty of runway ahead of it.

This 2006 from my cellar is drinking great. What a wine.

A bit too fleshy and deep. Not as much complexity as the others but still lush and enjoyable
