  February 10, 2021 - Drinking very nicely at this point. Not sure there is much runway left, but it should hold for another year or two. All the classic features of a nice Bordeaux. Enjoy!

  July 23, 2018 - P&P. With Lazears at cottage. Very dark ruby with purple hues, clear. Aromas and flavours of oak, earth, dark fruits, spice, red apple. Medium-full body, M+ acidity, XD (2 g/L), M- tannin. 14% abv came across a little hot. More oak on the finish. Not worth the $42 CAD I paid in Ontario. But then again, I often struggle to find the appeal of Merlot (and this wine clocks in at 75%).

  March 8, 2018 - Dark garnet colour. Savoury, dark and meaty nose of sautéed mushroom, pan seared caramelized beef, forest floor and pumpernickel toast. Medium-full bodied with dry, rounding tannins and rich, glossy fruit highlighted by a classy pencil-lead minerality. Long olive and dark toast finish.
  5/5
