Lansai Winery Jasmine Cabernet Sauvignon Dry Red Wine 2019

followed by gorgeously rich

black raspberry and a hint of wood

a giant of a wine that smashes your palate with sweet fruit and nearly tears it apart

There is fine concentration to the relatively powerful sappy and mouth coating flavors that are shaped by wonderfully fine-grained tannins on the hugely long

The vineyard that produces the fruit used in the 2015 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda has more limestone than elsewhere in the area and has very white soils as a result

Following on the heels of the monster-sized '89

The round and seductively textured medium weight flavors exude a fine bead of minerality on the appealingly detailed

soy and anise

The acidity seems reasonable but on the lower side

Aromatically this is compositionally similar to the regular cuvée except that the fruit is slightly denser and there is notably better complexity

which is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and usually produces small quantities of less than 300 cases

resinous element that will surely surface over the next decade or so
