February 11, 2023 - Deep colour; jammy nose calm down with a couple of hours; lush fruits, low acidity, accessible & easy going. Needs time to fill out & shed puppy fat. Good potential.

November 20, 2022 - Brilliant colour, short nose of earth an fruit. For a dry wine I found this to be on the sweet end.
Price point was $57 CAD, as I was neutral on this wine I found it expensive and not worth the cost.
If you can find it at 25 to 35$. good value.1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 19, 2022 - Young, deep purple colour. Sweet black and purple fruit, vanilla, graphite and black currant pastilles on the nose. Soft, sweet fruit extract, decent acidity, long off dry fruit-filled finish. Lush, sweet dark fruit, black currant and some jammy bumbleberry fruit, blackberry, plum and black raspberry, easy drinking, supple, and yummy. Another 92 pointer.
