Rich gold in colour with medium to medium+ intensity on the nose.
Positive: A complex wine featuring medium toasted oak, buttery cheddar croissant, lime, musky wood spice, butterscotch, pecans, apricots, quince & limestone. Medium+ body, good acidity, alcohol is well integrated & long length.
Negatives: A little bitterness on the finish.
Interesting Point: I recommend the larger Chard glass as it cuts the bitterness that a smaller glass will accentuate. I lucked out & bought this wine at LCBO for $28.05.
Drink now or over the next 3-5 years on its own or paired with surf & turf.
Tasted: 11 May 12
