We opened this on Christmas Day, and didn't think much of it, but I've had a glass yesterday and the last one tonight (with my leftover filet mignon & foie gras), and I have to say I'm terribly impressed with it now. Very dark ruby, full bodied wine, with aroma of black fruit and pepper spice. Tannins not overpowering on first day, but have kept the structure in place for four days.

Wish I had waited, but couldn't. Wanted to taste the new kid on the block. As someone who doesn't like pure francs, I was worries, but wow. Big fruit. Balanced tannins. Great nose. Meaty nose, with a long finish. I wish every wine maker doing pure francs would spend a season learning from Oakville East. Just fantastic. I'm a believer.
