owr Does not like this wine: 80 points
October 27, 2014 - this one was a real disappointment, and a wine that really showed its age; the absolute best it could muster was dried tobacco leaves and from there it got a little long in the tooth as time went by.

November 9, 2013 - Disappointing. The second half of the bottle was actually better the next days, so
Obviously needed more than the 2 hours I gave it. -
Rich.Herbs Does not like this wine:
November 9, 2012 - Ranked the worst by the group at our blind tasting, I felt this wine lacked character, with its sour meat nose, sour cherry taste and short finish. It was included as our Canadian entry, but we could have done better.

November 21, 2010 - Got some age on this, and 25$ can...trying to figure if this is worth the price - it is a bordeux type style with dark fruit and some vanilla/oak on the nose. The palate is similar with a medium weight and light on the tannins...Dark and broody - better with food. Nice Canadian version of something you may find in France.

September 2, 2008 - Cherry, mineral and smoky herb nose. Firm and fresh palate with good replays; long, earthy finish.
