Tout à fait génial après toutes ces années. Fruit toujours bien présent et complexité aromatique incroyable. Bien meilleur que la plupart des Bourgogne du même prix.

Nose: Expressive, cola, blueberry, earth floor, complex. Palate: Dark ripe fruit palate, youthful still, good acidity.Silky tannin still present, hint of citrus on the finish.

This wine is still drinking well for an 8 year old Pinot. Still very fruit forward.

An incredibly floral, elegant pinot noir. Loved it!

Sans crier au génie, je trouve les vins de cette maison réussis. Ce pinot était fort bon, dans un style qui se situe exactement entre la Bourgogne et la Californie. Bref, un pinot bien extrait, un peu solaire mais sans excès, conservant un certaine fraîcheur, avec une bonne acidité et une minéralité évidente. Tannins encore un peu durs, ce qui me fait croire que ce vin pourrait se bonifier durant les 5 prochaines années.

Much improved compared to a year or two ago. A rich, slightly volatile nose (aromas of bing cherries, Kirsch and a slighy herbal note). Big, ripe, lush, sweet chery and blueberry fruit on the palette. The oak and tannins are fully integrated into this win

Very good, but a hair short of outstanding, a touch too soft perhaps - Brick red, medium concentration with a nose of cherry, cola, Dr. Pepper, cinammon spice and vanilla, nice complexity, a touch soft, but well structured, good balance, weight, sour on the palate with good length (89 Points).

Deep garnet; intense sweet cherries, strawberries, bacon, herbs, vanilla; concentrated ripe cherry, velvety, medium-full body, good structure, good acidity, firm ripe tannins, lingering finish. Big, tannic and not as elegant as the '04 but time will show this to be better. The clay 'terroir' was evident. Still a benchmark for Canadian pinot! Needs 10 yrs.

Excellent, but still a baby that need time to develop, interesting that the lower priced 'Village Reserve' seems a bit more developed at this stage, and is only $25! - Brick red/purple in colour, well concentrated, with predominant notes of cherry fruit, spice and oak on the nose, not as complex as I would have liked (once again more time required), however it finished very well with signs of things to come (90 Points).
