The new vintage has a nose of blueberry-blackberry fruit, violets, menthol and chocolate. It’s dense, sweet yet vibrant and elegant on the palate; very well proportioned. Great sweet-sour tension, with fine, firm tannin. Excellent length. Enjoy the fireworks now, though it should also age well toward 2015. LCBO 665471
