Poplar Grove CSM 2008

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSmoky peppery tobacco nose with bits of coffee, cassis, black cherry, olive and barnyard aromas. The attack is dry and tight with smooth textures and a touch of grainy tannins. More tobacco, vanilla cream, chocolate and meaty, coffee, cassis jam, black berry jam, black olive flavours assault the palate before finishing warm and oaky. A solid Bordeaux blend with some syrah to boost its intensity and alcohol.Tasted: 26 June 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
