Decanted for 1hr. Deep dark fruit on the nose, wonderful. I was really impressed. I am not sure if this will continue to get better, but it is drinking beautifully right now. The wine looks brick colored. There is light sediment in the bottle. It tastes like blueberry, black currant (cassis) and vanilla. The body is medium/full. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

13.5% - Clear, med to deep garnet / clean, pronounced intensity - blackberry, blueberry, liquorice, some green bellpepper, cocoa powder, dusty, well integrated oak - overall great bouquet / dry, med to low acidity, full body, med to high tannins, med+ intensity and length. Concentrated berries, black olive with a solid backbone, new world style fruitforward without any excessive heat from the alcohol or overripe fruit. The nose has depth and is quite profond - meditative wine. The tannins are smoother and more refined than the last bottle opened 2 years ago. 90 now... will see after decanting

Un peu over the top, la carafe lui fait grand bien. Confiture, bleuets.

Fantastic... Smooth, full of Okanagan red fruit, almost jammy.
