Decant for 1 hour. Dark garnet color. Nice aromatics of red and blue fruit reduction, vanilla and mixed flowers. Big, bold flavors - this ain't your fathers' Merlot! Lots of cherries, plums and blackberries with a solid backbone of tannins. A dose of acidity is noticeable on the finish which is quite long. Unfortunately, the acidity left me with a slight metallic aftertaste when not accompanied by food. If not for this, I'd have rated higher. 14% ABV.

Fruity. Not bad but nothing great, typical table wine.
