Overall a very nice wine. I would have liked a slightly more robust finish but that’s just my tastes.

Price: $25.95

Price:  $16.45

Tasting notes from the LCBO:

Opaque ruby red; aromas of black cherry, liquorice, violets, and perfume; medium to full bodied, displaying flavours of blackberries, mint, and chocolate.
