The 2008 merlot vintage features rich aromas of dark cherry, gooseberry, cassis and additional red berry fruits; it also shows nice mineral flavours including slate and stone essences, along with hints of nutmeg, spice and mushrooms. The wine has a dark plum core with a vibrant ruby red rim. A noticeably full mouthfeel with silky tannins, balanced acidity and an elegant finish, ensure goodage ability. Red berry fruit flavours with hints of tobacco and dark chocolate persist on the palate along with subtle oak characteristics. This wine can be enjoyed in the next 6 – 9 months, preferably with decanting. Recommended cellaring is 5 to 7 years.

Wow, the 08 Merlot is fantastic.
I'm definitely keeping 2 bottle to drink in 5 years.
Hurry up, only 2 cases left at BC Liquor store in the mission.
