Saturday, November 24, 2012 - The Eleventh Annual Stonefields Dinner (Guelph, ON, Canada): From magnum, decanted for sediment and served approximately 20 minutes later. Pale garnet colour with a nose that needed to be coaxed a bit. Initially dominated by pure spice.....clove, baking spice, cherry, earth and a pyrazine type note that belied some of the stem inclusion that must have occurred here. The palate opened up showing pure red fruit, spice, mineral and earth over the course of the evening. The finish was medium to medium plus in length but my hunch is that this wine would have been best a few years ago as the secondary flavours are starting to overtake the pure fruit and spice notes. Overall though....a very pretty wine
