3 hour slow ox. Drank over two hours. Continued to get better. Still plenty of tannins. No rush here. Better in a few years

Very unexpected. You were absolutely right about this sensational bottle of wine. @Martin G Rivard I need several bottles of this in my cellar. Martin stop pouring me these wines… I'm moving in!

One of best To Kalons I have had...bravo to the entire Janzen team. Dense ripe black and red fruits with a bit of smoke and spice and long polished finished. Getting better every 20min. Crushed it w some bone and the KC strip!

2012 vintage. Young but man this is a rockstar. Just plays all sorts of tunes on your nose & palate. I'm a huge fan of their work. Beckstoffer To Kalon fruit is always fruit forward., has an awesome spice note., dark fruit and a very lush feel. It will benefit tremendously from a few years in the cellar BUT life's short.....who can wait that long!! 😜

The 2012 was a beautiful wine. Acidity slightly out of balance.

Classic To Kalon 2007...it is in its wheel house right now. Decant for an hour and enjoy! Can put aside for another 5-7 years, easily.

Dense, powerful, violets, layers of plum/cassis but serious structure. Tasted like a new world Palmer.
