Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve 2021
Beschrijving
De meest gerenommeerde critici hebben dit wonder uitgeroepen tot een van de koningen van Napa Valley. De druiven komen van de wijngaarden die meer dan 100 jaar geleden door Georges Latour, de oprichter van de wijnmakerij, op zijn beste percelen zijn aangeplant. Na een nauwkeurige en zorgvuldige vinificatie en rijping is het resultaat een krachtige en uitbundige wijn die tegelijkertijd elegant en harmonieus is. Met een werkelijk buitengewone bewaarcapaciteit hebben we hier te maken met een van de meesterwerken van de Californische wijn

Lastly, the flagship 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges De Latour Private Reserve is in the same ballpark as the 2019 and is an incredibly elegant yet concentrated 2021 that does everything right. Purple-hued, with ample cassis, wild sage, graphite, and darker chocolate-like aromatics, it picks up a Graves-like gravelly earth character with air and is full-bodied, has ripe, polished tannins, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. As with many of the top 2021s, it s a touch reserved and closed and needs 4-5 years of bottle age, but will drink well for 30 years.
Intense aromas of iodine, blackcurrants, cedar, sandalwood and mint follow through to a medium to full body with silky tannins that spread across the palate and expand in a balanced and harmonized way. Hints of chocolate and fruit at the end. Some tar. Drinkable but better in a few years. Try in 2027 and beyond.
What a spectacular showing of this iconic wine in the terrific 2021 vintage. Deep ruby with a purple hue, it just exudes elegance and statesmanship. It has a noble quality to it that begins with its precise and lifted bouquet of dried rose petals, kirsch, Blackberry, and cassis fruit interlaced with sagebrush, sandalwood, and toasty cedarwood. Perfectly medium to full-bodied, showcasing a dazzling spectrum of silken red and black fruits redolent of strawberry, cherry, plum, and blackberry atop a substantial bed of taut, mineral-tinged tannins. A spine of racy acidity lifts the panoply of fruit, and the finish reveals a plethora of wild herbs, cast iron notes, pastille, and white pepper, nuanced by rich, toasty oak infused with toffee and vanilla bean. It is one of the most satisfying and immediately enjoyable expressions of the Georges de Latour Private Reserve in the last decade. Produced by Trevor Durling, the fourth winemaker to follow in the footsteps of the great André Tchelistcheff.
Priced between the Napa Valley and Georges de Latour Private Reserve bottlings, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Reserve probably delivers the best bang for the buck in the BV lineup. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec, it offers up scents of black cherries and plums accented by hints of menthol and toasty oak (the wine spent 22 months in 80% new French oak). It's medium to full-bodied and streamlined in profile, with silky but firm tannins and a long finish.
