LCBO Note Status A Vintage Assessments Explorer's Selection!
TASTING NOTE: A knockout nose of brilliant raspberry, thick cherry and integrated herbs and bramble notes. It's unctuous on the palate but not cloying due to relatively high acidity. It shows a range of sweet red fruits that are rich and luxurious on the finish. Decadent red icewine for those special occasions.
