Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, February 14, 2007 - Purchased off the wine list at Sooke Harbour House (alas, no more 1999 left), I thought it might be too young. Nonetheless, after an hour of air in the glass, it was quite open for business. Brilliant purple hue. Nose was never an issue, as there were abundant friendly smells of BBQ, garrigue, pepper, and red meats. The palate was tight at first, but relaxed nicely to exhibit warm soft edges, plenty of granache fruit with dusty tannins, and a surprisingly moderated, harmonious finish. It was flat out enjoyable, and paired terrifically with venision. Great now, with tremendous upside.
