The debate was painful to watch, as expected. A good glass of wine would certainly help.
My last bottle of this magnificent 07’ Merlot. I don’t think I will able to find another $10 bottle that will age this beautifully.

I have never came across a $10 bottle that ages this beautifully. This 12-year old Merlot is mind boggling.
The regal nose opened up with subtle incense, autumn leaves, hint of barnyard and fermented black tea. Just when I thought there was not too much fruits left, red cherry, plum, and cherry cola emerged with vanilla and herbs. Medium body still feels vibrant with just enough acidity to balance the ripe and sweet tannins, which still had some teeth left. Still have plenty of life ahead.
The joy of discovery!
