WINE TALK

Rose, red fruits, cherry, crunchy bramble and some potpourri notes on the nose. On entry there’s this supple crunchy bramble fruit with high acid and a moderate svelte tannins that was then followed by a steep drop-off of nothingness. Though with about 20 minutes of air, the finish and mid-palate gained a bit more depth, and while it was still a steep incline it wasn’t quite the sheer fall that the beginning had. If I chewed on it some the finish was like a less steep downhill cobbled street as opposed to smooth asphalt. It gave it texture and grip to make the fall down slower and now interesting and enjoyable. Nothing incredibly distinct or moving, bit enjoyable enjoy with food as the acid helped carry it through.

Had this off the list at Canlis. Agree with your note.

Have a half case of the 2017 that I haven’t tried yet. Hoping for better than 2011
