  December 31, 2020 - Deep opaque brick. Rich bouquet of lychee and wet leather. Intense flavors of wet mossy wood, dark chocolate, juniper and licorice. Drank at the perfect age. Drink Now.

  November 3, 2019 - There really was nothing good we could say about this wine: dirty, earthy, foresty and those were the nice things ... "I do this cause I taste wine for a living, otherwise I would not put this travesty in my mouth" - harsh, bitter and unattractive, a total horror show "The Trump Presidency of wine" ... end scene.

  June 29, 2018 - Very interesting, and intriguing, a 'rare' Nebbiolo grown outside of Piedmonte and not really anything like the same varietal grown in Barolo or Barbaresco but decent nonetheless, more Pinot-like in characteristics and quite tasty - Dark, with ambering rim, medium bodied, dry, dusty, sour cherry, earthy on the palate with decent length, quite sour and acidic, needs food at this stage but quite lovely and elegant and quite a treat, good length but really is near the end of it's life span, for those with bottles still resting, drink up! (87 Points).

  March 28, 2015 - Red fruits, earthy and seductive nose. Still tannic and acidic, but balanced with the ripe fruit.

  May 4, 2013 - Beau nez complexe. Pas le plus long en bouche mais belle structure avec des tanins fondus. Le fruit est encore bien présent avec quelques notes de cèdre et d'épices. Le vin est à point et prêt à boire. Le seul Nebbiolo planté à Niagara à ma conaissance. Il a mystifié tout le monde à l'aveugle ! Beau vin !
