  At initial opening this was indecipherable. Fruit was muted on nose and palate. Alcohol and acid were upfront and the tannins were present but fine-grained. However, by the second hour this began to flip and the dark red fruit was aromatic and silky. The acid was submerged and the alcohol was in check. I did expect more from one of the more iconic flagship reds in Canada.

  A soft pleasure. Just missing on the complexity side

  Still young. Should be decanted. Yummy, but laying it down 3 years will pay off.
