Exhuberant blackberry, black cherry, violets and methyl lees to a full-bodied palate based on dense jammy cassis. Tannins are fine, lightly sandy / grippy through to the drying finish. Still in youth, but this polished wine is drinking smartly now, with ample freshness.Tasted: 23 April 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $84.95 | 750ml | LCBO |
