2018 Wayne Gretzky Estates No. 99 Baco Noir

Today we bring you this wine from Canada, 2018 Wayne Gretzky Estates No. 99 Baco Noir. A wine produced by Wayne Gretzky Estates, where the figure of possibly the best known player in the history of ice hockey, Wayne Grezky, is behind. It is made in the Niagara area, VQA Ontario wine. A single varietal Baco Noir.

A wine that in sight leaves us a wine in stopped glass with a garnet colour, with a chromatic intensity average, very clean and brilliant, of average layer. Good tear that flows very well in movement, with some purplish reflections.

The nose is fresh, fruity, with medium intensity, with a lot of red fruit such as cherries, red fruits, raspberries, strawberries, cranberries and blueberries. There are also aromas of black fruit such as blackberries, plums, blueberries, berries, black cherries and cassis. Spicy aromas from the ageing, with toasted touches of wood, vanilla, chocolate, bitter chocolate, tobacco.

The palate is complex, with a medium-fresh attack, with a certain dryness at the beginning, good acidity that has allowed it to achieve a good structure. Lots of fruit, as on the nose, with ageing aromas. Elegant, medium palate. Very good persistence and medium-long finish.

A wine that after its tasting deserves the qualification of Very Good, reaching a score of 90+ points.

A very good wine to get to know this varietal, Baco Noir, and the wines produced in this area of Ontario in Canada. It is certainly worth tasting it at your leisure to see how it evolves and the nuances it presents at each moment of the tasting.
