Once the most popular red wine at the LCBO, the style seemed to go adrift, but it has re-energized since the 2005 vintage, with a sweet and sour tension that has become a Wolf Blass signature. Very lifted mint, blackcurrant, chocolate and herbal aromas. Medium-full bodied, intense and dry, with very good length. LCBO 251876
