Score 87/100 · Drink 2019-2028, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jul 2019

Full ruby. Aromas of blackberry and violet. Juicy, intense flavors of black fruits, licorice and violet complemented are by a note of dark chocolate. Still a bit unyielding, owing to its strong acid spine. Finishes with lingering dark berry flavors. This wine showed more even ripeness than the 2008 version I tasted last year but will it ever become pliant?

The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Il Barone is a beautifully focused wine graced with expressive dark berries, flowers, spices and mint. It reveals lovely focus and energy from start to finish. The mid-palate sweetness and generosity tapers off a bit on the finish, which is the only thing that keeps the score from going higher. The final blend includes 2% Petite Verdot.
