Perhaps how Merlot should taste but seemed heavy. Fine with the steak, but not exciting to have on its own. No real notes

Surprisingly tight at first. Plum, raspberry flavors after raspberry leather and vanilla aromatics. Tannins released in aeration, softened. Deep purple

Cherry and lots of tasty fruit. Sweet but dry at the same time makes a good balance. Versatile food partner from cumin grilled lamb chops to chocolate bar.

Simply okay. Nothing really remarkable, might have been better if the fruit was more distinct and had a shade more sweetness. Wouldn't purposely buy, this bottle was free. Drinkable, though.
