Now in the hands of Ross Hackworth, Nichol Vineyard was established in 1989 as retirement project by Alex Nichol, a double-bass player for Vancouver’s Symphony Orchestra. The Old Vines bottling includes fruit from Nichol’s original 1991 plantings. Sinewy, lean and linear, the 2019 clearly demonstrates the cool vintage: it is decidedly floral in fragrance, with crisp red currants, hints of fennel and racy acidity. At the moment, this is firm and rigid, so best to decant if opening now.
