I drank this next to a glass of water. So this would be better… naturally.

Dec 30th, 2022A really pretty dark garnet color in the glass, almost impenetrable. The nose is very interesting and lovely, especially as time passes. Black and red cherries with some soft vanilla. There’s a bit of coffee and cigar smoke. On day two, chocolate and floral notes come to the fore. Earthy and fruity in equal measure.
This starts off as a very well balanced, quite nice wine but becomes so much more if you can let it grow into itself a little bit. Full bodied but not clunky. Smooth with vibrant energy. Soft tannins and nicely dry. On the palate you’ll find tobacco and chocolate with dark fruits. A nice streak of spice brings us on home to the long finish. This is no novelty, it’s just good wine.

Enjoying some delicious Baco Noir I brought back from Ontario the last time I was there. Rich and robust, dry with lots of punch. Notes of plum blackberry oak tobacco cedar. I’m sad I pulled it out of the cellar, it needs a few more years in the bottle and it will be spectacular.

Solid Baco Noir for its youth. Not a lot of tannin to speak of here but a healthy amount of blackberry, plum, and a touch of leather. Paired great with a steak and the company :).
