The second wine of the estate, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reliquus (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) tastes like a mini-Grace family with its darker currant bud, iron, brambly garrigue, and tobacco-like aromas and flavors. It's softer than the Grand Vin, has medium to full-bodied richness, velvety tannins, and outstanding length. All Cabernet Sauvignon aged 21 months in 70% new oak, I d be thrilled to drink a bottle anytime over the coming 15 years.
An enticing version, with an expressive core of vivid loganberry, mulberry and boysenberry fruit harnessed by cast iron, dried violet and singed alder notes. The long finish shows a deep growl of warm earth as the fruit plays out slowly. Hard to lay off now for its character, but this has some development ahead of it.
