AXR Flagship Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

On the rim, shiny dark cherry with touches of plum and ruby. On the nose, a beautiful explosion of minerality with granite and flowers like roses and tulips with raspberries, cherries and licorice. On the palate there is a velvety entrance evolving on a dense, but fresh mid-palate with blackberry and black currant, lingering on a beautiful acidity with savory dry herbs. The flagship 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon AxR1 comes from a single vineyard and is 100% varietal raised primarily (maybe all) in new French oak. It's a brilliant, majestic Cabernet revealing a dense purple hue as well as a killer nose of cr me de cassis, graphite, leafy tobacco, and classy oak. With full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great, great finish, it's up with the cr me de la cr me of the vintage. As with most 2021s, it deserves 4-5 years of bottle age and will have over two decades of longevity. Rating: 97+ Sourced from a bevy of top vineyards (Harbison, Sleeping Lady and To Kalon, among others) the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon AXR1 is a blended top-of-the-line cuvée. Ripe and cassis-laden, there are also hints of blueberries and cedar; I detected no green nuances whatsoever. It's full-bodied, concentrated and silky on the palate, with a long, gently tannic finish.
