Top Notes For
Red fruit on nose; a little fakey. Maybe it’ll blow off. Same on the palate. A little thinner than I would have expected. There is a sticker on the bottle extolling a 92 point rating from JS. I hate to say that I usually subtract about 3-4 points for this. On this occasion, spot on. I’ll update this rating if it evolves over the next few hours. Hour 2: still jammy and potpourri there now.

May 7th, 2020We enjoyed this one with take-out Greek food in an Alberta hotel room praying that our car bearing BC plates wouldn't be keyed in the midst of the Coronavirus lockdown. A juicy one that got the job done. Not bad.
