Don Cayetano Merlot

This is another one I got from an estate sale. I'm always a little wary of the older wines but these were stored perfectly. This has a sweet boquet and is semi-dry on the tongue. The finish, however, is quite smooth. Recommended if you can get your hands on it. Points went down because it was a screw-top instead of a cork.

Just had an off flavor that I could not put my finger on. I thought with a screw cap it should last but I guess it did not.

Surprisingly spicy. Much more like a Petite Sirah than a Merlot.
