Incredibly pure, seamless, and elegant, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon shows classic Eisele red and black currants, new leather, dried flowers, spice, and loamy earth in a multi-dimensional, full-bodied style. Aged 21 months in 100% new oak (54% new French barrels and 46% new Austrian and French foudres), it has refined, seamless tannins, flawless balance, and a gorgeous finish. It's very much in the style of the vintage and this site, which never yields the biggest or richest wine, yet one of complexity, elegance, and finesse, while still bringing concentrated fruit and texture. This is a world-class, First Growth-like effort that will stand toe to toe with the best in the world. Hide bottles for a decade if you can, and it will be a 40- to 50-year wine. Drink 2035-2075.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon needs a little coaxing to bring out notes of warm cassis, wild blueberries, and juicy blackberries, followed by hints of menthol, licorice, tar, and forest floor with a waft of black truffles. The medium- to full-bodied palate is packed with shimmery black fruit and minerally layers, framed by firm yet velvety tannins and amazing tension, finishing on a lingering ferrous note.

Intense aromas of blackberries, spices, fresh herbs, violets and lavender with some sage. It’s full-bodied with broad tannins that spread across the palate and give impressive structure and length. A clear and precise wine with greatness. Pure cabernet sauvignon. So attractive now, but will age superbly. Drink or hold.
