Sourced from the eponymous To Kalon vineyard with Cabernet Sauvignon dominating (plus a sprinkle of Cabernet Franc and Petite Verdot), this 50th anniversary release, from the “epic” 2013 vintage. Cassis and dark chocolate on the nose with a trace of graphite, lavender, black olive and a trace of menthol. Very rich and dense in the mouth with dark fruit, anise, tar, mocha, and very subtle mint. In any case, this is still very much a baby and will likely need another five years before it starts to really show itself. It should age gracefully for a least a couple decades.
