This wine has aged gracefully. Fresh fruit has given way to more savoury aromas, spice, and leather. Well crafted. This bottle was enjoyed alongside the 2019 in a group tasting. The 09 did not necessarily stand out as being any “better” with age - just different.

Found this to bit raisin like for my taste, not sure if the fruit is changing in the bottle. I have one more in my cellar to try, lets hope it comes out better.

Winorama Canadiana! (Niagara on the Lake): What a surprise - first red wine of the day that I have truly enjoyed. It had a great nose, very deep red fruit - some mulberry, cassis, currant. This was much too young to be drinking now, I'd imagine it could handle a good 10 years and maybe more and just improve through that time.

Nice solid wine. Easy drinking, medium tannins. Nice dark berry fruit, mulberry, vanilla. Decent length to finish.
