Laughing Stock Vineyards Portfolio 2004

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe nose is tight mix of coffee, black olive, resin, rootsy, saddle leather notes with flecks of menthol, cherry, tobacco leaf and barnyard. The entry is dry and round with light grainy, slightly cedar-y tannins and a bit of warmth in the back end. More smoky gamey, coffee, vanilla, pepper, resin flavours with black olive, cherry and tobacco leaf and a slightly warm tart finish. This will require further ageing to fully round out but it seems a bit leaner and greener than the last edition.Tasted: 05 January 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
