The Bosc family continues to make some of Niagara’s sturdiest, traditional Euro-style reds. This one shows gumption compared to most other 2006s, but it’s already maturing, with woodsy notes around the cran-cherry fruit. Searingly dry tannin keeps the rating down; good length. Drink now with two hours of aeration in a decanter or hold until 2010. LCBO 195511
