Product Description
LP98 The 2022 Poetry Cabernet Sauvignon displays a deep garnet-purple color. After a little swirling, evocative scents of fresh red and black currants, black raspberries, and mint tea slowly emerge from the glass, leading to hints of pencil shavings, violets, and tar. The medium-bodied palate is bright, crunchy, and tightly wound with black and red berry layers, framed by firm, grainy tannins and beautiful tension, finishing long and perfumed. This is a simply stunning expression of the 2022 vintage, and I love it!
DR98 "Unfolds in a perfect arc of flavours, beginning with wet slate, graphite, black cherry and dark cassis, building toward a crescendo of wonderfully textured tannins that drive the mid-palate with intensity and precision. Eventually, the structure resolves into a beautifully perfumed finish, revealing red florals, espresso bean and even hints of guava and blood orange. Long and captivating. The blend contains 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Merlot. (Drink between 2025-2038)" Jonathan Cristaldi for Decanter, March 2025
