The 2015 Merlot James O'Neil shows the vintage with its ripe, sexy, plum, and cedary spice-filled bouquet. This carries to a medium to full-bodied Merlot with terrific tannins, a balanced, elegant mouthfeel, and a great finish. It too is ideal for drinking over the coming decade. Maturity: 2021-2031. Score - 92. (jebdunnuck.com, Jan. 27, 2021)
