  5/4/2024 - La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 93 Points

  Wine Spectator Grand Tour (Las Vegas, NV): This deep ruby wine is a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Merlot, aged for 20 months in 100% new French oak barriques. Opaque ruby in color, it is a full-bodied, broad-shouldered wine that is packed with black currants, dark bramble fruits, lavender, Asian spices, bittersweet chocolate and tobacco. Freshly acidic and without any heat from its 13.9% alcohol, it is still youthful with respect to its far-from-integrated oak and tannins, which dominate the mid-palate and lengthy finish. All this needs is time...the building blocks are lined up. If it fleshes out as anticipated, a higher score will be merited. Drink 2027-2040.

  Cherry, peach cobbler, and parsley. Smooth, dry palate. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish.
  
  This was better than I expected. I’d like to try this from a better vintage. Tasted at Wine Spectator’s Grand Tour in New Orleans. 93+
