January 14, 2023 - Château La Cabanne's 2018 iteration is an opaque ruby blend of 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. Intensely aromatic and flavorful, it delivers a package of cassis, kirsch, violets, Asian spices and bramble leaves. Medium-to-full-bodied, freshly acidic, proportionately oaked and without any heat from its 14.5% alcohol, it buttresses its flavors with abundant fine-grained tannins and is layered in the middle. Long and silky-textured on the back end, it is a delight to drink at this early stage. Given its impressive structure, I have to assume that this wine will shut down in the near future, with an undetermined "awakening" interval. As such, my projected drinking window for this wine is very speculative. This particular bottle was Vinturi-decanted and was not assessed until it had been in decanter for more than four hours. Give it as much air as your patience allows. Drink 2025-2043.
