Thursday, June 1, 2006 - The Wine Summit; 6/2/2006-6/3/2006 (The Post Hotel in Lake Louise): Very deep color – almost a brooding presence; this wine needed some time to come forth – left it for an hour in the glass; aromas showed lots of blackberry fruit, with hints of anise; ample fruit on the palate – initially reflecting some ripe tannins, but they settled back as the wine sat in the glass; powerful thrust of fruit, with a licorice edge – some hazelnut – blackberries; excellent structure with the frame holding the fruit; superb acidity in the background; finished beautifully. This is quite an outstanding wine with a long future. Another 4 or 5 years will add further complexity.
