Yet another Merlot, over 80% in this Bordeaux. It seems to me to be still a bit young to drink. The tannins are still showing and the fruit is buried a bit underneath it all until they come through in the finish. Rasberry and plum were the most notable flavors. I had this right after the Jayson (see other note) and then had the Jayson again right after this. The Quinault was a classical French Bordeaux style and showed some structure and balance and I believe will improve for another five years. The Jayson, it may be good in five years, but I would not expect much chance of better.
Back in awhile.
