Lush black fruit aromas upon decanting: blackberry, dark cherry, cassis, with soft vanilla. Flavors reflected those with round, soft tannins and a long finish. Consumed over 5 hours with no fading. Purchased and cellared upon release, this may not get any better but I don’t think it’s going downhill either.

First bottle opened suffered from some VA issues, but this bottle showed much better. Classic cherry and red fruit notes, but mellow from 11 years of age. This one rewarded cellaring. Drink now.

I got that style at The Containter Store here in Texas. Not sure if they're in Canada or not, and I don't find the same style on their website. Amazon has a very similar box, and they have a few different styles. I got some for champagne flutes there earlier this year for storing my "party" glasses, and it was nice that they had smaller chambers so the flutes didn't move around as much. Here's the link to the Amazon ones:

There are also some that are soft sided, white, and zippered. I've had those and they're okay, but the ones in the link are sturdier and IMO better if you're going to be accessing them regularly or worried about things bumping them.
Hope that helps!
