Little can be added to the greatness of the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin, a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. The wine (600 cases) is truly stunning in its dense, crème de cassis and blackberry-scented nose with a hint of barbecue smoke and forest floor. Tasting like a ripe vintage of Château Latour from Pauillac, the wine has amazing richness and a savory, expansive mouthfeel, but tiptoes across the palate like a ballerina. A wine of magnificent richness and intensity, but vibrancy, purity and overall equilibrium, this is a staggeringly great wine and another tribute to the Kapcsándy family’s extraordinary professionalism and meticulous attention to detail in their vineyard. - RP

Incredible black currant, blueberry, stone, oyster shell and violet. Subtle and complex. Sweet tobacco. Full body, superb density and flavor. Great length and structure. A wine that is complete and complex. So much aging potential. Linear and dense. Better in 2022.

Kapcsándy's 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin remains a powerhouse. Inky dark fruit, leather, incense, plum and blackberry and espresso saturate the palate in this decidedly heady, extroverted Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2013 is a rich wine that has aged well. I find the overall ripeness profile and oak imprint on the strong side, but this is a wine of its era. -- Antonio Galloni
