Super-Tuscan Bordeaux blend of 50% Merlot, 30% Cab, 20% Syrah. Tasted at Palm Bay Winemaker's Tour 2010 @ NY Public Library @ Bryant Park and was among my favorites. Aromatic and complex bouquet of red & black fruits, spices, vanilla, oak.

Colour -Medium purple, some gradation. Upon openning: Nose - Blackcurrent, tannin. Palette - Medium body. Black current. Some tannin. Not harsh, but still quite there. Fruit fades in the mouth, leading to a bitter finish (tannin). 15 to 20 second finish. After only 5 or 10 minutes in bottle - Tannins faded somewhat. So on openning, a 91. After 5 minutes in glass - even less tannin (not much at all). Body has become much fuller; glycerin taste. Fruit is still there, but being overtaken by glucerin. Note - Not as good on the 2nd day and poor on the 3rd. Obviously not suitable for aging. Overall: I've had better SuperTuscan's, but at $35 Cdn at LCBO Vintages, this is a decent QPR.

Aged for too long, would have been great a few years back. Nice fruit, musty, little tannin. Everyone appreciated it none the less.

Not as wonderful as I remember. Dark; lots of sediment; dark fruit; bit too earthy. Maybe it will be better on the 2nd day.

Very dark, quite a bit of sediment. Full bodied and smooth. Chocolate and licqourice. Ok with entrecote, but better on its own after dinner.
