  What a surprise. Medium ruby with a hint of garnet around the rim. Lovely nose of dark berries earth and a surprising freshness. The palate also has lush dark fruit and fresh mint. Wonderful texture and lightness with serious intensity. This tastes like a young wine. Wow. Tannins are resolved and the finish persists. I was expecting raisin like flavours with leather and alcohol. Truly great winemaking and an incredible value. Bottle was lost in my cellar and discovered when rearranging stock. This is at its peak and will continue to stay there for many years. Bravo.

  Fully mature and round. Dark red color. Wonderful nose of red fruit, vanilla, spices. On the palate a marvelous warm feeling of velvet and silky tannins that enwrap an elegant cuvee of fruits, cedar, vanilla and a bouquet of spices. Medium to long finish. At its peak.

  Mieux que les cuvées récentes, plus complexes
  et mieux équilibré.
  Beau fruit, des mures et du cassis avec un
  peu de poivrons.
  Les tanins sont bien enrobés et la finale pas mal longue.
  Rendu à proche 140$, ça frise le ridicule ce vin.
  2010 fut mon dernier millésime!
