Finally I have landed my white whale. This wine is impossible to find in Canada, but I happened on this one at an auction and paid way too much for it. Totally worth it though. Vibrant, fully integrated and virtually jumping out of the glass, the bottle didn't last long. Incredibly long finish. Having no point of comparison I can't say whether this is at or past peak but if you have one just drink it I say - live in the now!

WOTN against some serious new world syrahs (Amon Ra and Donelan Richards Family Vineyard)...Raspberry, blackberry, sweet spice and some cigar box aromas shape a beautiful, well integrated wine.

Similar to the bottles i drank last year. Opened and slow ox'd for 3 hours. Dark fruit and hints of mocha on the nose. The palate was berry, plum, fig, tobacco, charred meat, mocha and spice. The finish goes on and on and on and on

Decanted for sediment. Still on the tight side. Still about the same a couple hours later.

Badly corked. Perfect storage, but off the charts TCA.
