Nose of cassis, herbs, hint of capsicum, cedar box, tobacco.
Medium+ length, fruit is slightly tight and held nicely with medium+ acid and medium tannins. Tart on the finish, with a hint of tomato.
Could age a further five years with ease.
A fine example of what Ontario is capable of today in Bordeaux blends, from a superb estate. Alas - should it cost so much?
