"The 1972 Cabernet Sauvignon Monte Bello is a classic expression of this wine and is drinking at full maturity. It has the hallmark freshness and purity thatâs present in all these wine as well as ample cassis, bouquet garni, cedar, truffle, and spice cabinet. It still packs beautiful depth of fruit, is medium to full-bodied, and offers a stunning texture. Readers looking for a classic, fully mature vintage of one of the top Cabernet Sauvignons from California should seek this out."
