Silky but muscular tannins, expands through the mid palate, showing intense black fruits, concentrated blackberry pie, grilled sandalwood, graphite and tar, great quality, grips through the palate, long ageing ahead. Todd Devincenzi director, Philippe Bascaules winemaker.

Score: 97

Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux 01 July 2024

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon wraps around the palate with substantial depth and textural intensity. Black cherry, plum, new leather, licorice and incense are all amplified in this potent, brooding Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2021 needs time to soften, but it is promising.

Bright raspberries and cherries are accented by attractive notes of sage and bay on the nose of the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon. Tasted as a prospective blend prior to bottling, it's really promising, with great texture and length. The new fermentation cave at Inglenook—tunneled into the hillside behind the historic building—contains 120 tanks, ranging in size from one-half ton to 150 tons in capacity. The goal is to ferment in sizes appropriate to each pick. Winemaking consultant Chris Phelps pointed out a couple of other new updates: use of an optical sorter since 2019 and going to barrel sweet in 2021.

Score: 94 - 96
