Tasted often in 2024 this has become one of the great values on the LCBO Vintages Essentials program. So consistently...

Fresh, bright, medium-high to highly aromatic nose offers lovely citrus, apple, and ripe orchard fruit aromas, plus some peach nuances. It's medium+ bodied and dry with a creamy mouthfeel and lovely, well-balanced aroma replays of apple and pear flavours, plus subtle spice notes. Fine, zesty acidity carries through to the long, balanced, and crisp finish. Tasted June 2024.

I think that one would be hard-pressed to name another wine available at the LCBO under $20 (still!) that is so consistently good every single vintage. The '23 is yet again another stellar value. Tasted Sep 2025.
