Score 98/100 · Drink 2027-2046, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is fabulous. I imagine it will one day take its place among the greatest Cabernets made here, and I say that having tasted every vintage. A wine of dimension, the 2021 is all elegance. Crème de cassis, graphite, cloves, licorice and dried herbs open with a bit of coaxing. Bright saline notes extend the finish. What a wine!
