Developed as a one-wine concept brand designed to be paired with rare steak. The new vintage shows generous mulberry, plum, mint and chocolate on the nose, with fresh basil and rosemary. Medium-full bodied, with a rounded middle, then a tannic, almost gritty finish that might stand up to rare beef, but is a bit ragged solo. Age it a year or two. LCBO 602615
