  Cassis, blueberries, violets and milk chocolate on the nose. Also noticeable oak influence.
  
  Surprisingly fresh cherry-powered palate. Very good balance. Dryness from the oak arrives on the midpalate and with impact on the finish.
  
  Will keep my other bottles hoping for more oak integration.
  
  Amazing value!

  This is such a good value for a wine at this age, $22CDN. Medium-intensity aromas of raspberry, plum, thyme, vanilla, oak, white pepper, and orange. Flavours of cherry, raspberry, oak, tobacco, thyme, and minerals. Long finish with medium chalky tannins and high acidity.

  Classic, mature, leathery, mushroom, toast, dried currant/cherry fruit nose. Flavourful and bright palate with a long, tenacious finish.
  4.5/5

  Au nez, seulement le bois et bouche sans balance et court.

  Beaucoup trop boisé et corsé à mon gout. Un mauvais Rioja d’une autre époque.
