  The other night I had a Le Cuvier 2019 XLB Cab. Sadly, they are out of those, but the 2020 Cab. Sauv. is tasting really well, even though I am sure it will improve with age. Like most Le Cuvier reds, I could drink the nose! However, the nose is not as vibrant as the 2019 XLB, as of yet. The taste is super-balanced, I get dark fruit & some earthy tones but wine description is not my strong suit. I really like how this wine tastes. Better than the 2019 XLB, the finish is very even without the tannic "tongue grab" that I find off-putting with many really nice wines. Perhaps my best endorsement, I just ordered 5 more bottles, a few I hope I can age appropriately if patience allows.
