La Cabanne 2019 (750ML)

93-94 JS / 92-94 VM / 91-93 WA / 91-93 JD / 91 DE

The blueberry, wet-earth and mushroom character here is deep and complex. Beautiful polish to the tannins. Full-bodied, yet it remains reserved and fine. Extremely long and lingering. Nice follow-up to the 2018. - James Suckling

The 2019 La Cabanne, which is pure Merlot, has a sensual bouquet with raspberry and wild strawberry aromas, touches of rose petal and just a little dark chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with very lithe tannins, focused and nimble, then gaining weight towards the precise, dark chocolate-tinged finish. This is one of the finest La Cabannes that I have encountered out of barrel. This is a great wine from François Estager. Tasted twice with consistent notes. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 La Cabanne sashays out of the glass with fragrant notes of kirsch, black raspberries potpourri and fertile loam over a core of Black Forest cake and warm plums. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is juicy, softly texture and already very expressive, offering tons of freshness and a provocative mineral note on the finish. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

The Merlot-dominated 2019 Château La Cabanne boasts a big, sexy nose of ripe red and black currants, toasty oak, spice box, and incense. With full-bodied richness, a big, fleshy texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish, it's another beautiful Pomerol in the making. - Jeb Dunnuck
