Score 94/100 · Drink 2025-2035, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Jun 2025

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Le Génie is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Notes of black cherries and loamy earth are framed by cedar and vanilla on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is supple, super ripe and deep, velvety and long. It's just a quibble at this level of quality, but it does show a touch of vintage-related coarseness and warmth on the finish.

Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2026-2036, Jancis Robinson MW, Apr 2025

Certified organic. Deep purple. Rich cassis and purple floral notes – quite ripe. Dense and sweet on the palate with super-fine soft tannin and a fanned-out finish. Not quite as much length as the Kinsman wines (same winemaker). (SCJ)

A hell of a second wine, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Le Genie delivers cassis, red currants, new leather, and spicy notes. Medium to full-bodied, pure, and balanced, it offers soft, supple tannins and outstanding length. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, it will drink beautifully over the coming decade.
