Following a 4-hour decant, nose is balanced with notes of currants, cherry, chocolate & leather.
Unmistakable Merlot dominates the palate, however, the Syrah & Cabernets round out this Bordeaux blend wonderfully.
Not a fruit-forward wine, but expect smokey, earthy notes instead. It delivers with so much dark chocolate, espresso & even a note of balsamic. Really enjoyed the mineral notes from the Syrah.
Soft elegant juicy lovely. Big fan Dark deep delicious. Had with steak and lobster dinner. Worked beautifully although could have drank in its own and been perfectly happy

This was marvellous. Had the 2012 last month and it was pretty good but this is very good.

After a short decant this 9 year old Okanagan Bordeaux blend was everything we hoped it would be. Rich, textural and yet smooth and elegant.
Expressive nose with attractive aromas of chocolate covered raspberry, mint and cedar all wrapped around a rich, ripe core of black plum.
Tannins are refined and integrated while the acidity shows power and persistence that keeps the wine feeling fresh.
Flavours are not at all tertiary and the finish is slightly hot.
Will continue to evolve through 2027.

Dry & very food friendly.
