Note di degustazione
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Core is a classic wine in the lineup in that it reveals the same inky color and powerful, full-bodied style, yet it hits another level due to its elegance, flawless balance, and fabulous finish. Loads of crème de cassis, blueberries, new leather, white flowers, graphite, and lead pencil-like notes define the bouquet, and this beauty is seamless and layered on the palate, with plenty of acidity as well as tannins. Hide bottles for 4-5 years, and it should keep for 20-25 years in cold cellars.

The 2018 The Core is loaded with crème de cassis, blackberry jam, grilled herbs, lavender, licorice and sweet spice. Unctuous and yet massively tannic, the 2018 is going to need a few years to come into its own, but it appears to have the underlying fruit depth to handle those tannins.
Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Core is a little closed to begin, soon unfurling to reveal profound scents of black currant cordial, baked black plums and boysenberries with hints of licorice, dark chocolate, cardamom and tar plus a touch of camphor. The rich, densely packed, full-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating black fruit preserves layers with loads of savory accents and a firm yet velvety texture, finishing very long and spicy.
