This new addition to the LCBO is dense and sturdy, with very ripe raisin, black olive and black cherry aromas. Full bodied, initially smooth and sweet, but the finish is coarsely hot and quite tannic. Has the stuffing to age another 10 years in bottle, but make sure you like the flavours before putting bottles away to mellow. LCBO 613901
