This wine has mellowed out considerably. Definitely still alive and probably will be for another year or two. secondary flavors are woody, earthy, with tea and cassis. very pleasant.

Not a great showing for this Merlot tonight...definitely past it's prime and not up to par with the excellence of the '01 etude Merlot.

Tasted from the Vintage Wines, Ltd. tasting bar. Bright disc. Opaque purple robe with purple rim. Clean nose, showing moderately intense vanilla, black currants, mint and smoke aromas. Full-bodied on the palate, with big dry tannins, medium acidity and similar flavors as for the nose. Medium, slightly dry finish. This wine will likely benefit from 1-2 years in bottle, allowing the tannins to better integrate. It should drink well for 4-5 years thereafter.
