2019 Utopos Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is brooding and savory, with layers of star anise and licorice. There's a sensation in the mouth, like breathing in hot, sun-drenched dirt/dust while walking in a vineyard. It's evocative and good, brooding, dense and concentrated, the expressive rendition of a hot, low-yielding vintage such as 2019. A vibratory core of pure black and purple fruit does its duty and invites a second sip. Very good.
