89(+?)? Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2012

(100% cabernet sauvignon, representing a mix of several blocks):  Good medium ruby.  High-pitched aromas of black cherry, menthol, dark chocolate and licorice, with hints of fresh herbs and creosote.  Then brooding and medicinal on the palate, with powerful, slightly drying tannins currently cutting off the wine's fruit on the back end.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon built its reputation on Bordeaux's Left Bank. Here, in the district of Medoc, the varietal is the key component of blended wines that also may include some Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and even Malbec and Petit Verdot.
