March 15, 2020 - This rich and layered Cabernet is among the best wines that Benoit made in the 2013 vintage - and he absolutely destroyed the 2013 vintage. I loved the 2013 Fait-Main LPV, the Hartwell T5, and most of the Realm lineup, but this is, at the moment, the best I've tasted. To make such a rich, tense, round, and complex wine is a thing to behold (and taste!).
Cherry black in color and full in body, this wine offers soft and inviting aromas of boysenberry, graphite, bay leaf, and mocha. Boisterous and integrated tastes of black cherry, blueberry tart, graphite, ground espresso, and every kind of chocolate you can imagine (e.g., dark, milk, semi-sweet, baking). Decant at least two hours. The density here should last another 3-5 years, but it’s insanely delicious right now. 14.1% alcohol.1 person found this helpful Comments (4)
