2019 Pas de Cheval Cabernet Sauvignon Intermezzo St. Helenamore |
12/20/2021 - Gdyste wrote: NRPurple-black that fades to a crimson rim, deeply pigmented and staining the glass upon swirling. A volley of warm blackberries, Chambord, graphite, and a hint of cedar aromas add complex blueberry, sweet spice, pipe tobacco, dark chocolate, and espresso notes with a touch of air. Even before the first sip, it’s obvious this is a big wine. Power and energy pulse through the supple grip of the super-fine tannins, with a core so concentrated it seems to generate its own gravity. Lush flavors of blackberry and pomegranate preserves form the weft for a tapestry of chocolate, tilled earth, toast, vanilla, star anise, five-spice, and crushed violets. Finishing with evolving patterns of ripe fruit, spice, and earth, it seems endless. A gorgeous expression of Howell Mountain muscularity and richness, but still defined by an overall sophistication and balance. There is so much packed into this wine, and it’s perfectly structured to improve for decades. Drink now–2049. |

2019 Pas de Cheval Cabernet Sauvignon Prelude Oakvillemore |
12/20/2021 - Gdyste wrote: NRDense ruby-black with an electric amaranthine rim. Viscous and loaded with loganberry, black currant, and spearmint aromas that evolve slowly to reveal complex notes of licorice, cardamom, violet, and wild sage. On entry, the muscularity is immediately evident. Equal measures of perfectly ripe fruit and savory herbal flavors are bound by supple, tongue-coating tannins. Highly concentrated at its core, this is a robust and highly complex wine, seamlessly integrating notes of blackberry, cassis, licorice, tilled earth, mint, and herbes de Provence. The finish builds in a resonant crescendo of fruit, earth, and spice that commands rapt attention. It’s raw power cloaked in refinement, and it will only get better. Drink now–2049. |
