  January 29, 2024 - Château La Cabanne's 2019 iteration is an opaque ruby, impressively aromatic wine. Comprised of 100% Merlot, it serves up scents of black currants, morello cherries, exotic spices, espresso, lavender and bay leaf. Medium-to-full-bodied, seamlessly alcoholic (14.5%) and judiciously oaked, it delivers flavors in line with the aromas, adding notes of cocoa that are buttressed with lively acids and plentiful silky-textured tannins. Layered in the middle and long on the back end, this is a deceivingly structured Pomerol that will provide pleasure for many years to come. Following Vinturi decantation, tasting of this bottle commenced after the wine had been in carafe for more than two hours. It was fully expressive throughout the subsequent three-hour tasting interval. Drink now-2044.

  October 7, 2023 - Decanted and served immediately.
  Plum, cherry, dark chocolate. Medium bodied, full flavoured and well balanced. Tannins are neatly tucked into the decently lengthy finish. Drink or hold.

  April 9, 2022 - Flowers intermingled with wet earth and cherries and a touch of cocoa hit all the notes here. Medium-bodied, elegant, refined, soft and silky, with freshness and energy to all the black plums and mocha on the mid-palate that carry all the way through to the ripe, lusciously-textured finish. Since 2015 La Cabanne has been getting better and better and 2019 is clearly the best vintage produced here yet. Drink from 2024-2040.
