| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
IRONSTONE |
| Very deep intense purple colour. Intense, cedar-sandalwood nose with some plum-cherry notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, crisp, very faintly herbal finish. This new blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 6% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot has 14.5% alcohol on the label and according to the LCBO 7 g/L residual sugar. It was aged for 20 months in French and American oak. Not quite as rich as the recommended 2012 (***) released on January 23, 2016 at $34.95. TONY ASPLER / 89-points / TRY - Cedary, savoury, black fruits on the nose; full-bodied, richly extracted plummy fruit with grainy tannins on the finish. |

| TASTING NOTE: Big, bold and tannic, this layered and nicely ripe wine is an iron fist in a velvet glove. It smells like espresso and dark chocolate, tastes equally roasted and rich, but backs its darker flavors with blueberry and blackberry notes, finishing smooth. Best after 2019. Cellar Selection. Score - 91 (Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast, May 1, 2017) |
