2002 Swanson Napa Valley Merlot

[TheEngineer]

Good nose on opening, very ripe, strawberries, berries, etc,. Very dark in color and looked thick The taste a bit less volumptous than the nose had indicated and while solid, was a bit short. Then again, only $18 a bottle so was decent.

Mid week wine, nose is starting to work somewhat again.... Still hanging in there...in fact not much change.
