Note di degustazione
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Old Vine is a huge, dramatic wine. Dark and virile in the glass, the 2018 is endowed with terrific presence. My impression is that the Old Vine, like all of these 2018s, has really gained depth in bottle, which bodes quite well for the future. Black cherry, sage, lavender, menthol and licorice are all finely knit. I would give the 2018 at least a few years in the cellar, as the tannins are pretty incisive at this stage. This is a superb showing.

A step up, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Old Vine has more density and depth as well as big upfront fruit. Blueberries, orange blossom, candied violets, and tobacco notes define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a plump, rounded yet structured style.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Old Vine is vertical and explosive, with tremendous depth and a real sense of lift. Veins of tannin give the wine its shape and a real sense of energy, both of which are palpable. Although it is a big wine, the Old Vine also has plenty of nuance. The interplay of fruit density and structure is compelling.
