With Hurricane Irene keeping me company, I decided to open this bottle that was recommended to me by my favorite wine consultant at Total Wine. Not too shabby if I may say so myself. Here is the verdict:
This merlot is not to be taken lightly. While well-rounded, supple tannins make it seem elegant, a burst of flavors, such as, cherries, plums, oak, and hints of chocolate, coat your palate. A bouquet of cherries, blackberries, spice, and red currant entertain the nose. Smooth, yet enticing enough for your "big", "over-the-top" wine drinkers. Needs 2-3 years in the bottle and few hours decanting time. RH 90+
