High-toned and delicate nose showing sour cherry fruit and floral character, with pickle juice/brine/sauerkraut notes. Toasty and smoky oak use is evident. Somewhat animal, as well. On the palate, lean, lithe and very acidic. Tannins are aggressive and fine grained, and oak isn't quite integrated. Length of finish is above average though. One to revisit in a few years.

LCBO Paid tasting: Plenty of oak with beautiful expression. Talcum powder. Medium body, medium finish with brisk acid and fine tannin. Would purchase.
