| One of 52 items (49% of 106 releases) not presented for evaluation under new LCBO policies. Any item that is not presented is assigned NO star (-) and an interim 0-point proxy score until it is properly assessed. The 2012 last appeared in Vintages (*+/**) on November 28, 2015 at $19.95. Here is my previous note: Very deep intense purple colour. Intense, spicy, faintly herbal, dried ripe cherry-plum nose. Dry, medium bodied, somewhat peppery, herbal, spicy, dried plum flavours with a very crisp finish. Has 14% alcohol and 7 g/L residual sugar with a screwcap closure. Seems very different from what Robert Parker reviewed with 14.5% alcohol (as quoted in the Vintages Catalogue). |

| TASTING NOTE: A wine that does what it says on the label, this comes from low-yielding, stony, limestone influenced soils and is intensely fresh, sappy and chalky with real precision and focus, fragrant blueberry and black cherry fruit and bright acidity. Drink date: 2018-2025. Score - 94 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Argentina Special Report 2017) |
