Château La Cabanne 2021

Lovely perfume aromatics on the nose. Juicy and softly lively on the palate, you feel like this wants to be more playful but the creamy, chalky tannins just cover the fruit purity and brightness right now. It does have a good base of acidity though and I like the clear terroir markers of graphite, crushed stone and pencil lead with a cooling finish. I also like the texture – it’s delicate and feels well worked and refined with good potential. Drinking Window: 2025-2040. Score – 91. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com)
