The wine has garnered significant praise from several esteemed wine reviewers. The Wine Independent rated it a 96 and described it as "deep garnet-purple in color," with a bouquet that includes "rambunctious notes of boysenberry preserves, warm cassis, and blackberry pie." The review also noted nuances of "licorice, dark chocolate, tar, and cardamom." The palate is characterized as "bright and energetic, with vibrant black and red berry layers and a seductively soft texture," finishing "long and wonderfully pure." Only 350 cases of this wine were produced.

Jeb Dunnuck awarded the wine an impressive 97 points, highlighting its "beautiful core of darker red and black fruits" and additional notes of "smoked tobacco, chocolate, and spring flowers." Dunnuck emphasized the wine's "terrific purity as well as freshness," describing it as "medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and layered." He praised its elegance and complexity, predicting it will evolve over 30 years and remain drinkable for nearly all of that time.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also provided a favorable review, giving it a score of 93 points. The Advocate noted that the wine, scheduled to be bottled in June, included hints of "cherry and black cherry fruit, with hints of menthol and cedar." It was described as "medium to full-bodied, silky, smooth and easy to drink," with a finish that is "long and reasonably elegant."

Overall, the 2021 Kapcsandy Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Cuvee is a well-crafted wine, celebrated for its depth, complexity, and aging potential. With high ratings from multiple reviewers, it stands out as an excellent choice for both immediate consumption and long-term cellaring.
