Typical of those red volcanic soils, rich in clay and iron, you will feel the texture and the weight of those rocks through the black aromatics: compote blackberry, cherry and sweet garrigue spices. The core is surrounded by earthy notes and deep unfolding layers. Another classic vintage to lay for a bit, or don’t hesitate to decant for the first decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points - Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Houyi Vineyard is another sensational wine from this label. Ripe black and blue fruits, liquid violets, spice oak, graphite, and a beautiful sense of minerality all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with a layered, full-bodied style carrying plenty of tannins.
