intense and extremely impressive with length to burn
There remains a linearity to this Lafleur—and there is still that backbone—yet it seems to flow nicely across the mouth
This showed especially well from barrel
earthy minerality
sizeable but very supple as well
Dana Estate Helms Vineyard 2019 750mL Italy intense and extremely impressive with"Showing consistently (if not a touch better) than earlier this year, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Helms Vineyard is a medium to full bodied, complex, incredibly satisfying Cabernet offering lots of cassis and plum fruits, ripe, integrated tannins, wonderful purity of fruit, and lifted, exotic notes of candied violets, tobacco, and spice. It's drinking nicely today, but it should have two decades of overall longevity." Jeb Dunnuck, JD97, tasted 2 2023
