James Suckling: 100 Points

Wow! The aromas to this are really exceptional with a tangerine edge to the blackcurrants graphite lead pencil flowers and wet earth. It changes all the time. So expressive and refined. Full-bodied with great intensity and depth of fruit. The ultra-fine tannins display millions of layers. The texture on the palate is superb and lasts for minutes. This is the new 1974 George de Latour which was a legend. Real Napa Valley red here. Drinkable now to understand it but truly great in five to six years and onwards. Benchmark.

While the quality of the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve Georges de Latour is indeed excellent what may be even more impressive is that there are more than 12000 cases of the stuff. Marked by scents of cherries dusty earth dried herbs and hints of cedar it's full-bodied silky and complex with a lingering finish. It doesn't require much cellaring but it should drink well for close to two decades. Nicely done. Beaulieu Vineyard is often overlooked in the stable of wineries owned by Treasury but the company has roughly 1100 acres devoted to the brand. One of Napa's grand old wineries it's now helmed by General Manager/Senior Winemaker Trevor Durling. Together we tasted through the latest reds to come out under the classic BV label.
