The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's Vineyard boasts gentle eucalyptus and vanilla shadings accenting bolder notes of cassis and black cherries

although I paid homage to his bust that stands on a plinth outside the winery

complex and sneaky long finale

juicy wine that finishes with sweet but firm building tannins and noteworthy persistence

A number of 2008s are ornery in finished acidity

Francois Carillon, Puligny Montrachet Combettes other_regions_italy The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's(from a . 78 ha parcel of vines planted in 1995). There is enough reduction present to render the nose impossible to fairly assess at present. Otherwise there is good volume to the medium bodied flavors that possess a seductive, even caressing mouth feel before culminating in a restrained and persistent if only moderately complex finale. This isnt quite as complex but there is even better length. (90 92) 2024+
