From the collection of Paul Vickers, one of Calgary’s most respected and successful hospitality entrepreneurs. Purchased on release and perfectly cellared since acquisition.
The wine in this lot has a following tasting note from Allen Meadows -Discreet, reserved and subtle Vosne spice aromas lead to closed, slightly tough and still quite structured, indeed almost hard flavors that offer good depth and the balance is suspect at this point. Still, there is enough mid-palate density to suggest that this may very well have the stuffing to mature into something very interesting even though it appears to be in a time warp at the moment as it has seemingly not evolved at all in more than 5 years. For the patient AND optimistic. Another recent bottle was very odd as the nose was rather funky with a distinct note of acetone that dissipated with air but never completely disappeared with much more moderate structure than the bottle reviewed above displayed. However, the overall quality was the same as this is a perfectly good effort but certainly not a distinguished one.
