Clear pale ruby; clear medium nose of strawberries, cherries and black pepper; dry; high acidity; high tannins; medium plus alcohol; medium plus body; pronounced flavour intensity; palate is tarter with addition of a vegetal note; long finish; score reflects current state but there’s potential for improvement; tasted non-blind at LCBO dinner

Very closed nose, with hints of maple, jasmine, and caramel. Tight, silky palate, with strong, drying tannin and austere flavours of cranberry skin, anise, and powdered clove.

Too young to drink. Still lots of tannines. Dark fruit. Wait at lease 3 years, but probably small drinking window, 2026-2030.

Very harsh and lots of tannins in the moment. This one needs at least 10 more years to become really enjoyable.
