drank as part of a three year vertical - 2012, 2013, 2014. Was least impressive of the three also had the most Merlot in the blend. Over si hours it never developed any complexity. Good not great.

- Brick color with slow forming legs and aromas of tobacco, mint, cedar and licorice anise. It's balanced and has flavours of bell pepper, black pepper, black currant, blackberry and vanilla with a medium/full body. Smooth texture with a long finish - Decanted two hours, great young fruit still.

Decanted 1 hr. The tannins are a bit sharp. The fruit is there, so wonder if left alone a few years the fruit will still be present if the tannins mellow. Hold.

We particularly enjoy this reserve wine, a blend of Merlot and Cab Franc!
