Bottle had a slight spritz on the palete - unusual for these bottlings. Gave it a little "Fourrier Shake" and that really settled it down and opened it up. That said, I don't think this was a representative bottle unfortunately and was seemingly slightly flawed.

You could really feel that there was so much here, but it’s currently all wrapped up in its structure. It’s not showing a tonne at this stage, but you get glimpses of the meaty peppery goodness underneath.

PnP. Slight matchstick reduction and lovely oak spicing on the nose. Ripe fruit bordering on tropical - but not necessarily in the forefront. Medium-bodied with a nice clean, fresh finish, just lightly accented by the oak. Lovely wine. At CAD$60, this is the definion of QPR (as far as white burg goes).
