I'm not sure what the hoo-ha is all about with this one. Decanted for three hours. Nose is big. On the palette, this inky, sediment-filled juice brings vibrant acidity and gripping tannins and much more dark fruit than you expect from either Bordeaux or a merlot. Intense licorice notes lead the finish, which for some (including me) will disappoint. There is something tar-like about this wine.
