An impressive vintage for its balance and richness, as well as for being an authentic cabernet. Big nose of cassis and chocolate-mint, with a touch of bordeaux-like lead pencil and dried herbs. It’s medium-full, soft, warm and focused, with dry tannin and minerality on the finish. Best 2009 to 2012. LCBO 110486
