From WineSpectator:
750ml $89cdn
Opened half and decanted over 28hrs a few days ago. 2nd half was vac sealed and opened again tonight.
Cork in excellent condition.
This was a tough glass when first opened. Great nose of blackberry and cherry, alcohol apparent, tannic but very long finish. IMO shows best between 2-6hrs.
2nd half after 3hrs:
Dark ruby with a brilliant ruby rim. Blackberry and cherry on the bouquet with some milk chocolate. Silky mouthfeel. Slightly tart cherry with milk chocolate in the finish. Tannins are there. 45sec+

It is still a good price for this Vargellas that beats many of the top producers 1991 bottling. It was an even greater deal when it was released last year around 70$ at the LCBO. My friend and I left only 1 bottle on the shelves of Hawskburry branch :o From you TN, I'll wait at least 5 more years before opening my first bottle. Thanks for the input!
