The nice folks at the SAQ happened to have a bottle open..... A lovely nose with strawberry jam, cassis, underscored with mint. Full and meaty on the palate with a nice balance of acidity. Slight bitter aftertaste. This bottle had been opened for at least a day and a half. I was told that it showed even better just after opening. This is the first burg in a while that I have really enjoyed. At just under $27 I would say this represents a good buy.

Raspberry, cassis first.
Mint and leather in 2nd nose.
Tannin well balanced. We think it's was the year to drink it.

Raspberries, cassis on the nose, less full than last time although well balanced overall. Next day this put on a bit of depth to its taste.
