90 to 94 excellent
95 to 100 outstanding
On track for the price. Well-
integrated if not intense aromas show quite a lot of mineral, with plum jam, herbs, celery and leather. Medium weight, fairly dense, soft red, with
a sweet and sour edge and light tannin. A bit of tobacco and earth. Good length. LCBO 665273
