  Any one who thinks BC wines cannot be aged cannot be more wrong. Here is another example. Very old world in its style. Clear light red in colour. Clean nose of earth, spice, and red fruit. Dry, med body, light tannin, nice acidity, wood, earth, and light cherry on palate. Nice finish. Nice complexity on wine, drinking really well right now. If you have in cellar drink up. Still has some years left, but don't think it can get any better.

  Drank a bottle with duck breast and quinoa risotto. Even after 45 minutes in the decanter, this wine was still closed. Food really helped the cherry fruit shine through, and by the end of the bottle all the smoke and battery acid had receded and the pinot fruit was starting to shine.

  The smoke is a little better integrated now with a few years of bottle age, and the cranberry/red cherry fruit a little more pronounced. But even though more elegant because of it, this is still a *masculine* wine - it wants fat to slice through, and ethereal is not its game...
