    November 20, 2018 - SAQ N° 11200788 70$
    Avec le gigot d'agneau en croute d'herbe.
    Un vin des Marches avec vue sur la mer.
    Robe sombre mais disque bien pourpre.
    Bouquet de boite a tabac, cuir, caramel, un peu kirsché.
    Bouche avec tannins fins, fruits cuits, raisins séchés. Similaire a certain porto vintage, sans la lourdeur alcoolique. Longueur significative.
    Bien, à point.

    January 24, 2016 - Patience has paid off. Soft tannins and well balanced. Dark ripe fruit.

    October 1, 2011 - This wine is FINALLY coming into its own. I still think that it has a few years before it peaks, but there is a nice balance now.

    February 24, 2011 - This has settled down a lot in the last two years. Much more pleasant and subtle now.

    April 26, 2010 - This wine needs to breath. I would open and let sit for at least 1 1/2 hours. Or age for another 2 years. This is a nice earthy Italian cabernet that I think with time will be closer to a 90. There is some nice fruit in this wine. It just is not ready. Do not pop and pour.
