It's curious that this vintage, reviewed by the critics 16 months ago, is still on offer at the LCBO in July 2023. It's currently on sale, so maybe they're trying to move out some old stock. I've enjoyed this wine in the past, but this vintage just doesn't do it for me. Plenty of extract and flavour to be sure, but on the palate it's coarse and disjointed. I could be wrong, but I'm ascribing these faults at least in part to the use of American oak, which in my view should never be used in whites, and only occasionally in reds.
