Dark in color with a nice dark berry nose … On the mid palate the wine displays some nice elegant black cherries and black plums, along with some mocha. On the medium length finish the wine displays lovely dusty tannins and smooth acidity … nice and dry! Not a hint of errant minty or herbal notes! This is quite a nice wine, we paired it with filet mignon and it went REALLY well not as complex as some Bordeaux blends but good anyway. I would give it an 88 or so, for the money it’s worth grabbing a few, we went through two in night 😉 Damned evaporation, or as the country music song goes … There’s a whole in my bottle … From the LCBO web site, check stock:
