Another dazzling effort from Patrick Campbell this gorgeously opulent voluptuously-textured super-concentrated wine already exhibits an enticingly complex bouquet of chocolate cedar herbs cassis and damp woodsy aromas. Full-bodied with the sweet juicy succulent fruit that is the vintage's trademark this wine possesses low enough acidity and sweet enough tannin to be approachable young but it should keep for two decades. NOTE: This wine is not available for purchase as a wine future.

Laurel Glen’s 1992 cabernet sauvignon is a very good wine that is still quite primary in terms of aromatic and flavor development, but shows excellent potential. The deep and emerging nose offers up scents of cassis, black cherries, tobacco smoke, a touch of nutskin, a lovely base of soil tones (the last vintage where these are prominent in the wines here?), fresh herb tones and a nicely integrated base of new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, quite complex and really well-balanced, with a rock solid core of fruit, melting tannins, very good focus and excellent grip on the very long and classy finish. I really like this vintage of Laurel Glen. 2011- 2025+.
