TASTING NOTE: Hailing from a single site in Niagara-on-the-Lake planted in 1983, this is a traditionally made gamay fermented open-top, punched down and aged in French oak. So no tooty-fruity gamay here, indeed it is quite elegant, complex and refined. Expect complex subtle aromas of red currant/cherry, fine spice, pepper and some twigginess. It's mid-weight, dry and nicely contained with a fine red fruit and spice finish. Very good to excellent length. Nicely focused and balanced. Best now to 2020. Score - 91 (David Lawrason, winealign.com, Nov. 4, 2016) |
