Blackcurrant and graphite in a big way in the nose. Some asphalt and sweet tobacco, too. Full-bodied with a dense, velvety texture. Shows suppleness for such a big wine, with luxurious sensibility. Such fabulous length...

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder is one of the most distinctive wines in this range from Lokoya, but it is also the most backward. Huge beams of tannin give the Veeder Cabernet energy and shape. It will be at...

Jeb Dunnuck awarded this wine a perfect score of 100, citing its "Château Latour-like stature and regalness" as well as its "incredible concentration" and "flawlessly balanced" nature. Dunnuck describes it as "pure" with a "finish that won't quit," and suggests it could age gracefully for 30 to 40 years.

James Suckling also praised the wine, giving it a near-perfect score of 99. He noted its "blackcurrant and graphite" aromas, complemented by "asphalt and sweet tobacco." Suckling emphasized its "dense, velvety texture" and described it as having a "luxurious sensibility" with "fabulous length," recommending it be enjoyed after a few more years of aging.

Decanter's review, which scored the wine at 98, highlighted its "powerfully aromatic black fruits" and "structured and dense" nature. The publication noted its "firm, elongated tannins" and flavors such as "scorched earth" and "crushed cocoa nibs."

Vinous awarded the wine 97 points, describing it as "one of the most distinctive wines" from Lokoya, albeit "the most backward." The review noted its "huge beams of tannin" and "striking brightness," suggesting patience will be rewarded as the wine matures.

Overall, the 2019 Lokoya Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder is a robust, complex wine with impressive aging potential, widely praised for its depth and balance.
