Better than the 2011 (**/**+) released on October 12, 2013 at $29.95. The average price in the US is $36 CND! This wine was ranked #19 in the 2014 Wine Spectator Top 100. CSPC 167312

LCBO Note Status Recommended by Vintage Assessments!
This wine was ranked #19 in the 2014 Wine Spectator Top 100. TASTING NOTE: Very suave and polished, with ripe, pure flavors of blackberry, hoisin sauce and black pepper. Finely textured, this is packed with tar and roasted plum notes, showing plenty of licorice snap and dark chocolate accents on the powerful finish. Best after 2020.
