Cork was close to done but wine was not corked, just a little tricky to remove. Ripe berries and a hint of spice on the nose. Full mouth feel with softness at the back and a good finish with a hint of the alcohol. Lovely.

Wow, for anyone who doesn’t think BC wines cannot age. This wine is 13 yrs old and drinking at is prime. Beautiful garnet in color. Notes of plum, black currant, leather, and chocolate. Dry, med body, med acidity, smooth tannins. Cannot say enough about this wine other than, why have I not been buying this wine for years.

Wine of the night in the 2004 to 2013 vertical. Could easily beat great right bank Bordeaux worth 10 times the money. Nice fresh and vibrant acidity, mouthfeel has silky and layered texture, above average length. Great wine.
