Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 75cl
£292.66
The awesome 2019 Cask 23 boasts Fay's finesse, harnessed to the warmth and weight of SLV It takes some time in the glass to give much away, but with patience it reveals a wonderful, subtle, ripe sweetness alongside beefy heft While ripe, it is definitely not overripe, and expresses a minty character, so typical of First and Second Growths from Pauillac or Saint-Estephe Beautifully complete and balanced, it is powerful, succulent and delicious, with plush-textured tannins It will be very tempting to start guzzling this soon, but it's worth waiting a few years at least Drink 2027-2050+ Originally named after a barrel whose contents was of such exceptional quality that it was bottled as a separate wine, Cask 23 later became a complimentary combination of some of the finest parts of the SLV and Fay vineyards While all the Stag's Leap estate wines boast impressive cellaring capability, this 'Napa First Growth' in particular requires keeping several years to show its best

In 2010 at their trial farm in the municipality of Fermoselle, JIMBRO started the endeavour to recover one acre of Brunal after obtaining certified material from the A.T.I. To preserve this variety, they grafted three thousand plants from a sixty-year-old vineyard.
The outcome was outstanding: a grape of exceptional quality, characterised by a striking level of taste, richness and ripe, strong tannins. With a production of only 1,500 bottles, JIMBRO BRUNAL was established as a wine with remarkable personality.
