97-100
As to the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon, this looks to be a legend in the making. Tasted from multiple lots (by vine age), all of the samples have saturated purple hues, full-bodied richness, and the purity of the vintage, with the darker, blue-slanted fruit profile. Where many 2023s are silky and a touch supple, if not forward, this is concentrated, has a stacked mid-palate, building tannins, and flawless overall balance. It reminds me of the 2016. If you're lucky enough to be offered a bottle, you should buy it.
