Faust Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA 2021 MAGNUM (1.5L)

Wine Spectator 94 WS Top 100 2024 Rank #4 Inviting aromas of ripe blackcurrants and blackberries as well as crushed walnuts, cedar and bark. Full-bodied, creamy and structured with firm, polished tannins. Balanced and even with a lingering finish. 95 Pts James Suckling Packed and broad in feel, with a ganache note draped over black currant, blackberry and steeped cherry. Licorice root and alder smoke flavors check in on the finish as the fruit pumps through, ending with a flash of violet. Hard to resist now, but this has some development ahead. Drink now through 2036. 94 Pts Wine Spectator
