Bought 5b for CAD 14/b about three weeks ago; this is #1. Dark purple; rich red fruit nose, some cherry, somewhat reticent but better with 24h under vacuvin. Good mouthfeel. Glad to find this, glad to have more. Quality, age, price in BC: Notable+.

Root Day - Plastic cork! Garnet core to crimson (almost fluorescent edge). Nose of confected blueberry, red cherry and raspberry along with a bit of spice and herbs. Very fruit forward and modern. On the palate it’s redeemed a little towards it’s old world provenance but not a lot. There’s some herbs on the palate giving some savouriness along with the exuberant fruit - mostly red on on the palate. The finish is medium in length with red fruit, spice and light herbs. I have to admit I was hoping for more given the 30 plus year old vines this is supposed to be coming from.

Sweet, confected, warm, lots of dark cherry, not much structure or tannins. Quite simple, but ok for the price. Drink now. - 86 points
