Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
|
In 2020 after 30 years the LCBO suspended all preview Vintages tastings for accredited wine writers. Last year previews were reinstated for store consultants BUT wine writers were no longed allowed to attend. The LCBO's reply to a request for reinstatement said that we should get samples from producers and wine agents. It states that that our unpaid-for independent reviews no longer “best serve our (LCBO) customers.” Unable to taste. |

TASTING NOTE: Mid straw yellow. Summer yellow stone fruits, spiced pear and candied citrus. Lovely balance of super sweet juicy fruits and tangy acidity, the long finish has notes of honey, and candlewax. Score - 95 (International Wine & Spirit Competition, 2019) |
