Tasting note

Dense, inky purple-crimson; absolutely achieves expressing 'a profound sense of place'; unctuous black fruits swathed in dark chocolate drive the bouquet and medium to full-bodied palate with relentless precision, yet keep balance and length. Oak and tannins are part of the package, but you sense them, rather than feel their impact. Carries its alcohol with ease. Drink By: 2034. Special Value. Score - 95.

*Available only at the BC Liquor Stores Festival Wine Shop (Vancouver International Wine Festival Tasting Room) from February 25, 26, and 27. Festival Wine Shop is open to tasting room patrons. Same day tasting tickets must be presented for entry.
