Found November 2010
Five years on and this wine still has so much stuffing left in it, not surprising considering 2005 was a very good year here in Ontario. The nose is spicy and peppery with dark fruit and cassis aromas. Flavours are all over the map starting with biting tannins, pepper, blackberry, cassis and sharp acidity. This wine has some great drinkability when enough air is put through it, plus it has an enjoyably long finish. There's lots of life left in the bottle and it's worth keeping it in the cellar a few more years to let those tannins mellow and that fruit start to emerge more fully. Time will tell if it balances out, but I have faith in this one. Lost & Found Rating: Treasure
