  At age 14 this wine has really hit its stride. Spectacular aromas of cassis, blackberry, and currants greet your nose well above the glass. With time and a bit of swirling these notes are joined by earth and hints of vanilla. The body is medium + and all of the tannin and acidity has reached that point where they perfectly match the fruit and have integrated into one seamless whole creating a texture that is rich and smooth. Flavours of black cherry, blackberry and cedar come through with intensity and complexity and stay on the palate for a long, savory finish. Extraordinary. www.advinetures.ca

  Brilliant wine. Smell of overripe plums - ripened in the sun of the Maldives. Juniper berries. Long finish - baked car tire from the side of an Arizona highway - maybe old Route 66. Mouthfeel like Willy Wonka's chocolate river. Smooth tannins. Structured. Ancient and wise - can give relationship advice for no extra charge. Opens up nicely over an hour

  You wait, and wait, and wait, for these wines to come around. And while you're waiting you have other wines. Some are older, some are newer. Some cheaper, some not. But when a wine like this, at the right time, is opened, you pause. You enjoy. And I think I caught this one at the precise moment of "not too young, not too old" - a goldilox moment. Though for my tastes it was a little soft. So maybe a year ago it would have been more interesting to me. But that's just me. Today. If you have some, I"d tell you to drink it. You'll enjoy it.

  I'v eopened two magnums of this recently. One was outstanding. The other was okay but seemed a bit tired and with a slight bit of oxidation; but it opened up and improved some.
