"The most muscular and masculine in the lineup, the 2012 Block 1 is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 28 months in new French oak. It's a serious, structured and backward effort that has lots of spicy oak, coffee bean, graphite and licorice-laced blackcurrants on the nose. These flow to a full-bodied, dense, concentrated and chewy Cabernet that will need 2-4 years of cellaring and have 15-20 years or more of longevity." Wine Advocate #219, Jun 2015 |
