There is almost painful intensity to the super-sleek big-bodied flavors that possess a positively gorgeous mouthfeel due to a mid-palate that brims with sappy dry extract that coats the mouth on the hugely long and impeccably well-balanced finale

balanced and

espresso and grilled herbs flesh out on the huge finish

the nose is beginning to display the first hints of initial maturity though to be clear

The utterly compelling 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage and 1

Dense ruby/purple in color

elegant and bright floral-suffused nose features notes of cool blue pinot fruit

One of the more finesse driven wines in the vertical

Simply loaded

have persuaded me that this wine is one of the most exciting and remarkable young Cabernet Sauvignons I have tasted

There is a really lovely sense of underlying tension suffusing the much more mineral-driven middle weight flavors that are not quite as rich but notably more precise on the chiseled and wonderfully refined finish

it still stood out for its purity
