  Decant 90 minutes. Light bodied. Decent evolution

  This pours light ruby in the glass with faint bricking and a watery rim. The nose is not terribly expressive or complex but is still enjoyable. Aromas waft of raw meat, animal fur, dried dark cherries, dried dark currants, light touches of quality nutty oak, a whisps of dried lemon peel and dry dusty soil. The palate affirms the youthful appearance in the glass with ample structure. Medium plus dusty tannin and medium acid dominate in the mouth with dried dark cherry and dry soil rounding out the finish that is medium minus in length. All in all I had higher hopes of this wine, given the reputation of the vintage. Poor value for the $275 CAD this was purchased for at auction, though still enjoyable. I do think 10+ years of further age could redeem this wine, though at this stage it's difficult to see much of any true complexity buried away.

  Every so often I get to taste a bottle that is near perfection for what the wine can be. This particular bottle was just that. Colour was mid-burgundy, bright and clear. The nose little shy for a minute or two but then it opened up with bright red fruit and mineral earthy notes, all pure. Palate in complete balance; acidity balanced ripe sweetness of the fruit, flavour intensity was underlined by super fine ripe tannins just holding it all together to a decently long finish. What balance and purity!

  This just wasn't giving me much in terms of fruit. Tart. I wonder if off bottle or past prime
