#64 James Suckling Top 100 of 2022
Wine Advocate: 100 Points
Deep purple-black in color the nose of the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon slowly unfurls to reveal a gorgeous perfume of violets and roses over a core of kirsch boysenberries and cassis plus hints of redcurrant jelly and menthol emerging into wafts of pencil lead and truffles. Medium to full-bodied the palate is built like a brick house featuring very firm wonderfully ripe grainy tannins and bold freshness to support the vivacious tightly wound black and red fruit layers finishing long and mineral laced. It's a stunning evocative singular wine that so beautifully captures the long slow-maturing grace of the 2019 vintage.
James Suckling: 100 Points
This is sophisticated and intellectual with an incredible wall of fine tannins that take you deep down into the soul of the wine. Full-to medium-bodied tight and soulful. Tar ash and volcanic-soil flavors. White pepper too. Great length. Shows the first-growth quality of the vineyards harking back to the wines of the mid-1970s. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. This needs at least six to seven years of bottle age. Best after 2028.
