Description
Built to age, this Cabernet from an iconic producer will deliver aromas of cassis, earth and spice in an elegant and structured package. Perennially a boldly tannic wine, this will reward 6+ years in the cellar, or decant tonight and enjoy with a rare steak.

Tasting Notes
Lavender, dates, raspberries and shrubs on the nose. The palate is classically structured: high-toned, focused, slightly rustic with a beaming core of acidity that continues through the finish. The tannins are subtle, making the wine overall enjoyable and ready to drink. Drinking window: 2022-2030. Score - 91. (Matthew Luczy, decanter.com, Oct. 12, 2020)
