The Wine has just arrived at the SAQ, 37$. It is always good and I'll pick another case for sure.

I picked up a case a couple of weeks ago. Had a bottle already so I could compare to the 2004. Right no I would rate the '04 better, but both are pretty nice wines!

I opened 2 bottles so far. I was really surprised by the constrast of the 2 from the same case. Both were very young wines but one on fresh ripe fruits with pure expression and the other one bigger, and more like candy chemical fruit flavours.

2004 was good, but haven'T tried it in a while, I think I prefered my first bottle of 05 to it but the 2nd was too much australian like for me.
