STAGS' LEAP WINERY |
This is one of 77 items (136 releases) not presented to taste under new LCBO policies. Any item not tasted is assigned an interim ZERO-STAR (-) rating and an interim 0-POINT proxy score until properly assessed. The 2015 (***) was released on October 13, 2018 at $57.95. Here is my previous note: Extremely deep intense purple colour. Cedary, intense, complex, spicy, slightly baked, ripe plum-cherry-blueberry nose with some faintly reductive, mocha-chocolate notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, harmonious, intense, ripe plum-cherry purée flavours with a cedary, bright, slightly mocha-chocolate-tinged, high acid finish. Has 14.5% alcohol and 5g/L residual sugar. |

TASTING NOTE: Love the aromas of clay, terracotta, blackberries and black licorice. Full-bodied yet compact and linear. Very fine tannins. Fantastic, cool and tight finish. Drink or hold. Score - 94 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, May 3, 2019) |
