Burrowing Owl Merlot 1999
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaCompost and barnyard aromas predominate with some prune and spice overtures. Much better texture here with good balance. Cherry cola, vanilla and spice mark the flavours. Lots of hard work has made what could have been an average wine much better in '99.Tasted: 01 September 2000Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $24.90 | 750ml |
