At first glance, the fruit was almost gone from this, with dusty, dry tannins being all that remains, however with time it began to open up at the end and the fruit began to show, not sure if the drinking window is accurate on this - Nice colour, dark purple, clear at the rim, medium concentration with typical Niagara vegetal notes and oak on the nose, once again a bit flat at first and my reaction was 'why bother with blackfruit Niagara reds?', but finished well (83 Points).
