The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is more expensive and is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, and 5% Merlot, aged 23 months in 45% new French oak. Its similar ruby/plum color is followed by a Margaux-like bouquet of red and black currants, tobacco leaf, graphite, and spicy oak. Beautiful on the palate as well, it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, elegant mouthfeel, some chalky minerality, top-notch balance, and a great finish. It's going to benefit from 3-4 years in the cellar and cruise for 20-25 years if stored correctly.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a stunning new bottling built for longterm aging. Kirsch cordial and mocha tones combine with suggestions of creosote and blackberry compote on the palate. With more air, the herbal
undertones become more prominent. This fantastic bottling will cellar well for the next 20 years. Be sure to give it at least two hours in the decanter if consuming it in its heady youth.
This producer always eschews big, bold Cabernet in favor of wines crafted to be consumed with food, and that is what we have here. The aromas offer notes of flower, tea, herb, black cherry, clove and chocolate. The palate is juicy and restrained, with a grip of tannins on the finish. Give this until at least 2028 to fully reap the rewards. It will have more than a decade of great drinking beyond that.
Aromas of plump blackcurrants, plums and sap. Full-bodied with soft tannins and sharp acidity. Rich and intense. Stony finish. 86% cabernet sauvignon, 9% petit verdot and 5% merlot. Drink now.
