March 29, 2020 - This dense and savory wine is starting to enter into its drinking window, but it probably needs another year or two in order to truly show its stuff. Although this leans more earthy than my typical Napa Cabernet, it has undeniable class and depth. This vintage has also made this wine more generous and plush, which is quite charming within an Old World frame.
Garnet in color and medium in body, the wine offers aromas of blackberry, graphite, toasted walnut, and peppercorn. The flavors lean dark, with notes of black cherry, espresso, baking spices, and olive, with an elegant finish that carries dusty tannins but lingers pleasantly in the mouth. 14.5% alcohol. Blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. 94-95 for now, with obvious upside in 2022 or later. Decant at least two hours.3 people found this helpful 5,594 views
