From the Cellar
Just because I started a website called OntarioWineReview.com doesn't mean it's All-Ontario-All-the-Time. When I kick back at night my mood (and sometimes my curiosity) decides my wine of choice. And the title should read, "Uncorked and Un-Screwed Tonight" ... but that just sounds wrong.

(September 26, 2015) ... An Argentine red blend featuring their hallmark grape (Malbec) plus Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. At eight years of age the wine has gone tertiary, shedding fruit for leather, mild pepperiness and a long smoky-anise-mocha finish; the fruit that does exist comes across as dried blackberry, but very little of that is even present. If lack of fruit is not an issue than the Senetiner Nicanor should be at the top of your list.

(September 20, 2015) ... Ten years on and this wine is right where it should be, aging relatively gracefully: aromas are of cassis, coffee, licorice, and alcohol (which is not really that surprising) - palate is mainly dried vanilla-black cherry, with mocha and sweet spice backing, there's also a little cherry syrup leading up to the hints of anise seed and chocolate on the finish.
