One of 68 items (60% of 114 releases) not presented for evaluation under new LCBO policies. Any item not tasted is assigned an interim ZERO-STAR (-) rating and an interim 0-POINT proxy score until properly assessed. The 2011 (**) was released on October 17, 2015 at $19.95. Here is my previous note: Extremely deep intense purple colour. Spicy, very cedary, intense, cherry nose with some lead pencil notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, spicy, very intense, baked plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, extremely cedary finish. This blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot has 15.5% alcohol and 7 g/L residual sugar. |
