Seriously wow! For price quality it is exceptional, $8.55 (SAQ) for this Moldavie 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Cherry, spices, tobacco, well balanced, tasty, not heavy. Dry (3.8g sugar). This is a very respectable wine. Will definitely buy again, can’t beat this price, comparable to a $16-$18 wine. — 8 months ago

This has further improved since I last tasted it. Much more enjoyable, since it’s developed more urgency. Much more vibrant and delineated. — a year ago
Belle acidité, barrique heureusement discrète:) — 4 years ago
Full flavour, consistent, not to harsh, perfect to enjoy slowly after a hard day or a good steak — 4 years ago
