The new vintage is solid, with classic, well-
proportioned ripe blackberry, eucalyptus, cola, sawdust and slightly tarry aromas and flavours. It’s medium-full bodied, with good density and fine, chewy tannin. Very good length, with menthol, saline minerality and ripe fruit on the finish. Best 2010 to 2014. LCBO 642751
