We had this lovely wine with a steak over the weekend. I'm not a big merlot fan but this one really got me. It was rich with black cherry and smooth subtle tanins. It lingers in the mouth and was almost like velvet. We read the label afterwards and it said we should have tasted vanilla. We tasted none. I don't care for heavy vanilla anyway, but does it go away with age? Just learning to detect all the flavors. Has anyone else tasted this wine?

Cooking is chemistry, baking is alchemy.
