Score 96/100 · Drink 2022-2052, Robert Parker, Oct 2015

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Her Majesty’s Secret Service is another selection of Aaron Pott from Stagecoach Vineyard. It shows terrific intensity and world-class complexity, with blue and black fruits intermixed with crushed rock and spring flowers. The wine has stunning purity, a dense, full-bodied mouthfeel and moderate tannins in the finish. This is a long-term wine that’s coiled tight at present, but promises to unwind over the next 5-7 years and drink well for three decades or more.

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Her Majesty's Secret Service is powerful, dense and tannic, all signatures of the Stagecoach vineyard on Atlas Peak. Inky blue and purplish fruit, iron, smoke, tobacco and graphite fill out the wine's ample frame effortlessly. This large-scale, super-expressive Cabernet Sauvignon exudes personality.

Score 91-94/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2014

Another wine that is not fully formed just yet, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Her Majesty's Secret Service presents an intriguing interplay of pure power and primary fruit, with huge tannins that are going to need quite a bit of time to start softening. The 2013 is going to need serious time, so readers should not be in a hurry here.
