Product Description
AG100 The 2019 Rhapszodia is an unexpected late addition to this tasting. Layered and wonderfully deep, the 2019 is every bit as compelling as it has always been. Heady floral and savory overtones meld into dark-toned fruit as the 2019 gradually opens in the glass. This 100% Cabernet Franc is so expressive today. I would prefer to hold it for another year or two, but it's obviously a very special wine.
JD99 The 2019 Rapszodia is 100% Cabernet Franc and, like all of the 2019s here, it's more about purity, finesse, and elegance than outright power and opulence. Gorgeous redcurrants, cassis, chocolate, Christmas spice, sandalwood, and incense notes define the bouquet, and it opens up beautifully with time in the glass and is incredibly complex and nuanced, which is classic Cabernet Franc. These all carry to a medium to full-bodied 2019 with incredible purity, silky, perfectly integrated tannins, and a great finish. Like a great vintage of Cheval Blanc, this will most likely merit a perfect rating in 5-7 years and drink brilliantly for 30 years.
