Friday, May 30, 2008 - The Wine Summit at The Post Hotel in Lake Louise Alberta Canada was fortunate to have Mr. Paul Draper as one of the presenters. After taking us all down a brief but interesting trip down memory lane, Mr Draper lead us trough a technical tasting of 8 Monte Bellos covering a range or 23 years. This beauty was a barrel tasting and it was a beautiful inky purple color. It was very supple considering it youth. I got earthy and violet aromas. It had a spicy oak taste and feel to it. I am embarrassed to say this is my first MB but I am fan after this barrel tasting. This will be a good one to get upon release and lock it away.
