Beautifully developing wine. Still slightly acidic and firm tannins. Fruit and oak well integrated but needs a few more years to reach perfection.

Enjoyed this wine after tearing my ACL skiing on Blackcomb Mountain in Whistler. Beautiful wine. Complex. Hints of vanilla, dark cherries and blackberries.
