  Drunk with dinner. Bright ruby with a hint of brown at the rim. Still lots of fruit - cherry, plum, blackberry - with a bit of earth and farmyard mixed in. So silky smooth - tannins have completely integrated! Good acidity keeps it lively and extremely well balanced. Would love to score it higher but it is not the most complex of Brunelli and is a little short on the finish. However, it is drinking perfectly now. A real pleasure to enjoy. Will keep but won't be better.

  Coming into its own. Still some fruit but secondary favors coming through. Went very well with roasted lamb

  April 2009 FWR Tasting (FWR, Toronto, Canada): Shut down pretty tightly right now, but does show some notes of tea, cherry, and plums. Decent length on the finish. Leave it in the cellar and revisit in 2012+.
