Tasting note:

A rich, textured, voluptuous red with seriously good aromas of black cherry, blackberry preserves, dark spices and smoke. Terrific structure yet so accessible. Decant for an hour and enjoy the conversation that naturally springs up around this wine. Food matches: grilled porterhouse steak, calf’s liver with bacon and onions.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Dan Trcka rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This medium bodied VQA Merlot has nice aromas of FRUITY to integrated raspberry, red currant, cedar, green pepper and vanilla notes. The tannins are refined (decant for 30 min) and the finish is medium. It will benefit from aging for additional 5 years, drink 2012-2015. My impression: NICE, 90 pts - a bit expensive. Tasted June/10.
