April 7, 2024 - Great balance and fruit, but has very thick tannins that betray its Canadian origins.

October 21, 2023 - This needs a one hour decant. A bit angular upon opening but smooths out over the hour and the darker, richer fruit rises to the surface. Good concentration and a medium finish.

April 22, 2023 - Well, it took two days to open proper...so young is an understatement.
Smooth & focused - but very chewy. I agree with Canoehead that something is off here - could be with wood, but it was a cooler vintage.
While disjointed now, I bet this wine becomes rampantly delicious. Only time will tell...2 people found this helpful Comments (1)
