  Great balance and fruit, but has very thick tannins that betray its Canadian origins.

  This needs a one hour decant. A bit angular upon opening but smooths out over the hour and the darker, richer fruit rises to the surface. Good concentration and a medium finish.

  Well, it took two days to open proper...so young is an understatement.
  
  Smooth & focused - but very chewy. I agree with Canoehead that something is off here - could be with wood, but it was a cooler vintage.
  
  While disjointed now, I bet this wine becomes rampantly delicious. Only time will tell...
