Score 95/100 · Drink 2022-2036, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2018

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is every bit as impressive as it was from barrel. Ample, full-bodied and yet classically medium-bodied in feel, the Reserve is tremendous. All the elements are in balance. Soft contours and silky tannins add to the wine's considerable appeal. The single-parcel Cabernets are undoubtedly flashier, but for quality and price, it is very hard to top the Reserve.

Composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve has a deep purple-black color and scents of chocolate box, blackcurrants, tar and bay leaves with a waft of charcuterie. Full-bodied and firm with a velvety texture, the palate gives good concentration and an earthy finish.

Tasted from barrel, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is quite dense and powerful, yet also has a good measure of silkiness to play off that intensity. Even at this early stage, the 2016 is endowed with serious palate density and resonance. I can't wait to taste it from bottle.
