| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |

This is one of 73 items (130 releases) not presented for evaluation under new LCBO policies. Moreover, this is one of 12 releases that has never appeared before in Vintages. Assessed from a sample provided by the listing agent. Bright deep intense purple colour. Surprisingly fresh, ripe and juicy with an abundance of plummy black cherrry purée fruit along with a touch of cedary-vanilla. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, ripe, plummy-black-cherry flavours with a lingering, tangy, fairly high acid finish. This tasty blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet was aged for 12 months in barriques. It has a hefty 14.4% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L,BCBXF19 on the back label and 187.12 on the lower part of the glass bottle. A remarkably tasty, ready-to-drink, crowd-pleaser at a terrific price. Move quickly as only 39 cases were purchased for distribution to only 7 Flagship stores.

A Best Buy |
| Bordeaux's 2010 vintage was one that produced robust wines with great concentration, refined acidity, superb ageing potential and value, right down to the entry-level wines. This blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from rich clay and gravel soils and will deliver all of the charms of this astonishing vintage. Pair with braised beef or grilled lamb.
