eRobertParker.com #222 Dec 2015 Robert M. Parker, Jr. Rating 95 Drink: 2020 – 2050 The 2013 M. Etain Cabernet Sauvignon, which is hardly a second wine by any means, offers beautiful blackcurrant fruit with some cedar wood/sandalwood notes, an opulent, full-bodied mouthfeel, stunning purity, and that layered texture that is so enticing. The wine has a beautiful opaque purple color, hints of graphite, blueberry and blackberry fruit, a touch of licorice and the soil undertones that some would say are part of the so-called "Rutherford dust" scenario, although that’s debatable. This wine has the sweetness and opulence to be drunk young, but won’t hit its prime for at least another 5-8 years and keep for 20-30. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon M. Etain is in essence a second wine, but it sure doesnt taste like one. Its deep purple color
