LCBO Note Status Recommended by Vintage Assessments!
TASTING NOTE: A pretty and interesting nose that offers up strawberry-rhubarb jam, cherry preserves, marmalade and a wealth of floral notes that will put you right in the midst of a spring flower garden. This is sweet, but not cloying as the fruit flavours and the rush of fresh acidity add a tangy brilliance. Very characterful with an awesome, lingering finish. Well done.
