Community Tasting Note

93 Points

Saturday, November 14, 2020 - Finished off a coravined bottle brought to the table by HMC tonight.....this was soft right from cork removal and very well integrated....the fruit was of high quality and the tannins softly integrating. Close to a 94 for me, just didn't have quite the depth or complexity. This may have been a factor of the 2 month coravin process? I just don't know, but it drank quite well right from the pnp, tonight.

It wasn't on the level of the Kinsella Heirloom but it was good. Better than I had expected it to be. A pleasant surprise.
