2004 Quilceda Creek Merlot

Lovely work of art. Changes over and over, from at first closed like baker's chocolate, to stout with sharp but smooth tannins, to a massive, complex, infinite complex wine. This only hints at what it will become. Can be served in many contexts, but should be treated as the headling act. Open many hours prior to drinking. I like this more than the cab. Am I alone?

Grade: A+
