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:

Dry, intense, layered and complex Napa Merlot with aromas of cherry drops, pomegranate, blueberry, cola and cigar box. Ripe, velvety tannins and all that fruit give the wine a big and balanced finish. Cellar for 3-4 years, or crack a bottle tonight. Source: Vintages Wine Catalogue.

Natalie who?
Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
