This is one of 73 items (130 releases) not presented for evaluation under new LCBO policies. This REPEAT of the recommended 2016 (**/**+) was last released on June 23, 2018 at $19.95. Here is my previous note: Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, complex, slightly spicy, ripe plum nose with some cedary-herbal notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, slightly hot, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, crisp, sandalwood-tinged, faint mocha-chocolate finish. Has 14.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L16L14 09/02/18 on the back label. TONY ASPLER / 89-points / BEST BUY - Minerally, blackcurrant nose with smoky oak notes; medium-bodied, dry, elegant, blackcurrant flavour; well-balanced with fresh acidity and ripe tannins. |

TASTING NOTE: Plum liqueur, red currants, crushed stones, oyster shell, creme de cassis, some subtle resin, roasted herbs and peppers. This is so polished and focused on the palate with tightly-wound but generous tannins, a vibrant line of acidity and a long, chewy finish. Drink in 2021. Score - 94 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, April 5, 2018) |
