I wasn't too impressed. This wine just seemed a little bland to me. It wasn't bad, but there's better wines for less money, IMHO.

Drinkable but expected better quality! Will not necessarily buy again. Color: Very dark red. Appeared heavy and concentrated. Unusual for Merlot. Aroma: Quite pleasant, smooth. Definitely blueberries and hints of vanilla. Taste: Very spicy. Heavy and robust on the transition but short. Strong aftertaste.
