Lailey Vineyard Syrah 2012, Niagara River, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Smoky and savoury with sizzling bacon on the nose and palate: adore it! Full-bodied and supple with seductive, pull you in head first aromas. Black spice and mystery. The 2012 vintage was spectacular and winemaker Derek Barnett made full use of its potential. This wine was bottled unfiltered and may through a natural sediment. The upside is that it retains more character and flavour. Drink: 2013-2019. 184523 13.50% XD 750 mL  $27.20 Score: 92/100.

Aurelio Settimo Barolo 2010, Piedmont D.O.C.G., Italy: The 2010 vintage of the Aurelio Settimo Barolo is spectacular! Loaded with aromas of violets, leather, tar and feral underbrush.
