have on its own, with friends, decant hours ahead....winter wine?
....this wasn't one of the better years, maybe share with friends either the 2015 or 2017
May 6 2023...enjoyed during a belated celebration of Crystal's birthday (and Jenn's), had with steak. After 3 hours decant, still believe it needed more time. After 5 hours, perfect! Despite not being a banner vintage, still enjoyed and looking forward to trying 2015 and 2017.

2019 (now!)
January 2020....nice wine, full, rich, a good sipper and probably pretty versatile food wine. Had with meatballs and pasta in red sauce...not a perfect match but good enough.
March 2022....kinda late drinking this but still good. Had with WeCook Sicilian chicken, went well. This wine was delicious for the next 2 days after as well. Smooth and flavourful. Must say, one of the more enjoyable Canadian wines I've ever had. Highly recommend.
