  Maya presented (18-20 DVO) to a small group while in Houston for the Southern Smoke Foundation.
  
  Of the mini vertical I gravitated to 18 for it's tension and 19 due to it's approachability. 20 was an easy drinker but overshowed in the lineup.
  
  Maya walked us through her story and how DVO "DUO" came to be a project and some of the vineyards the fruit is sourced from.
  
  Scoring this wine as it is today but there is no doubt this wine is built for the cellar and will no doubt score higher in the future.
  
  97+

  (85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 22 Monate Ausbau in zu 100% neuen Holzfässern, 14.9% Alkohol) Dichtes Rubinrot. Die Nase mutet etwas wärmer an als beim 2018er, reife Frucht, ergänzt mit floralen Noten, getrockneten Kräutern sowie Lebkuchengewürzen. Auch im Gaumen vollmundig und reiffruchtig, die Wärme des Jahrgangs drückt durch, die Frucht ist ausladend, wird von feinmaschigen Tanninen und einer milden Säure in Schach gehalten. Ein Wein mit herrlicher Balance und einem eindrücklich langen Abgang. Insgesamt etwas mehr fruchtgetrieben als der 2018er, wird in jeder Phase seines Lebens Spass machen. Kann angetrunken werden, hat Reserven bis 2040+, 96 vvPunkte

  Great complex red! Lively, red fruit, cherry and strawberry. Nice finish.
