  No improvement from my notes 4 years ago. 4 hour decant and the wine is still unbalanced. Lots of alcohol on the palette, and fruit is very muted.

  Wow, knockout wine. Initially we tasted this wine at the annual Harvest Party back in 2015 and I noticed that it was way too early to drink and I had to be patient. Especially as 2010 was a great year in Niagara. I'm glad we didn't drink this earlier. Upon opening it had a wondering nose. It had a slight sweet floral nose and upon tasting a complex medium length of dark fruits and cassis. I have 3 more and the only issue was that I didn't decant the wine earlier in the day. I would recommend decanting 2-3 hours earlier.

  Medium body and finish. Out of the bottle this wine had a very strange astringent taste and nose, but after 2 hours this developed into a decent wine. Black and red berries and a hint of mint. Not my favorite style of cab but decent enough.

  Tres beau vin ontarien, complexe, tendu. Manque un peu d'attaque. Prix un peu trop élevé.
