Halpern Enterprises Portfolio Tasting (Toronto, ON): Off the bat this comes across to me as fairly confected. The red fruit has a candied cherry, bordering on cough syrup note for me which is generally unpleasant. On the plus side some spice, soil and herbal notes add complexity. The palate is medium plus in tannin with moderate acid repeating some confected notes on the medium minus finish.

Spicy nose. Very berried fruits; quite muscular but again quite closed. Oak quite marked here. Caramelly finish. 89-92
