1997 Schweiger Spring Mtn

Boy is this a brute of a merlot. Dense, chewy, black fruit comes from the glass like my morning molassas. The nose has a spicy character that's almost rhone-like yet still the merlot fragrance comes thru. Considerable tannins are still evident, so anyone with these babes should IMHO forget them for another 2-3 years.Saw DDF's post on the Spring Mtn cab thread. This sucker is not to be confused with Bobs' Pride merlots that are polished and suave. WW

Sounds like one to avoid like the plague....
