Textbook perfect. No edge to be found. Applewood, graphite and plum sauce spark the nose. Tannins are so plush and supple. Amazing concentration and balance. Berries and cherries build the backbone, on the front of the palate reveals this plum reduction, vanilla flower while brewing a spent cigar on the backside. Mid palate I get this sweet flavor, not overwhelming, of red currant and ripe fruit. Finish comes in fine style and is a head turner of violets and cassis. Stunner of a wine.

Wow! If only all Merlot’s tasted like this.
Thanks
@Shawn R letting me know K&L had some, great looking cork for 10 years old,
This one is for you
@Ron R , sorry no twist off.
Its the Alexis Cuvee, so I’m assuming its not 100% Merlot. not sure what the rest of the blend is,

All that Bevan fruit but most impressed with the texture. Silky, well integrated tannins.
