Bottles 7 & 8
Provenance Merlot 2002 & 2005
This is a super wine Dan turned me on to several years ago. I was excited to see two bottles -different years - in the collection. With just a hint of fruit it's bold but not overpowering - in the fruit department that is. I find it 'fruity smooth' a very technical term you may not have heard before, in lay-wo/man terms that means basically, 'TASTY! This one pleases everyone, even those who don't much go for vino - go figure! Both the 2002 and 2005 were delicious! Maybe in a side-by-side I could offer some type of competent analysis (doubtful) but consuming consecutively both were enjoyed as much as is humanly possible. I had some friends over and these accompanied our meal - all I can say is not a drop was left or wasted. Treat yourself some time!
