Le Vieux Pin Retouche 2013
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMuch better balance here than we saw in the 2011. The nose has an inviting, aromatic, savoury, black fruit note. The flavours are mix of black cherry, blackberry and plum fruit with moderate, silky tannins and very bright acidity. The concept of Hermitage-ing the Bordeaux blend with some Syrah is successful but this wine is only beginning its journey. Try with lamb or beef or wait another three to five years. The gratuitously heavy bottle does not fit the style of Le Vieux Pin.Tasted: 02 August 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $65.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shop, VQA |
