This is an extraordinarily fine Cabernet Sauvignon, easily St. Supery’s best in memory. It’s made in a completely different style from the prevailing cult model, being fully dry, lower in alcohol, and maintaining a tannic structure framing blackberry and currant flavors that are notably balanced with herbs and tobacco. Will get better and better. Call it Bordeaux-esque. Now–2017.——S.H.(11/1/2009)—— 95
