| One of 67 items (55% of 121 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 2014 last appeared in Vintages (**+) on August 5, 2017 at $18.95 and was Recommended. Here is my previous note: Very deep intense purple colour. Spicy, ripe cherry-plum puree nose with some cedary notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, harmonious, dense, ripe, blueberry compote flavours with a slightly spicy, ripe, lingering, cedary finish. This remarkably fine blend of 80% Malbec, 20% Touriga Nacional has 14% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number L07517 on the back label. |
